Comments
This great fight had many different switches between who was on the dominant position. So it was definitely not one sided. but Johie seemed to step up his game at the last two rounds which gave him the win.
The main event for this card is an title bout in the Middleweight division between Carlos Newton and Ukko Metso. Meets get an early takedown into guard and sits down in the position. Metso drops back and looks for the leg. But it is not locked on and Newton moves into closed guard. Then Carlos looks for an kimura but Metso gets out of it. Newton lands an sweep but then Kunz then goes on the offensive with an guillotine, but their is an scramble and Metso is on top guard. Newton then becomes aggressive with many different submissions. The first round is over and it looks like Metso dominated the round. But then Metso gets an early takedown then he tries for an submission but fails. Newton then looks for an submission after he flips to the bottom position. The rounds ends with many different subs that do not land an tap. The rest off the fight was another crazy rounds of many submission attempts from both fighters It was a great fight! but the decision victory end goes to Ukko Metso!
Comments
An great main event for this card and it was an great grappling show where both fighters could not get the other to give up. Their impressive cardio was shown here as well. An shoutout to both fighters here!
