Preliminary Card (FOX Sports 1)
#1 Paul Felder vs. Charles Oliveira
Charles ‘Do Bronx’ Oliveira almost had this one in the bag, if not for Felder’s veteran calm and composure during the grappling exchanges.
Oliveira went from almost finishing this fight by way of submission to getting elbowed into oblivion. Felder landed a hellacious elbow on Oliveira and proceeded to pound him into unconsciousness.
Result: Paul Felder def. Charles Oliveira via TKO (Elbows) (Round 2, 4:06)
#2 Yancy Medeiros vs. Alex Oliveira
One of the best fights of all time, Medeiros pulled off a real-life Rocky performance as he came out despite being almost finished on multiple occasions; in order to finish the ever-dangerous KO artist Alex Oliveira.
Oliveira struck early and often; putting Medeiros on roller-skates throughout. Nevertheless, this back-and-forth affair saw Medeiros claw back at his Brazilian foe.
The fight reached a final crescendo when a bloody Medeiros pulled off a comeback for the ages by decimating Oliveira with a barrage of punches.
Result: Yancy Medeiros def. Alex Oliveira via TKO (Punches) (Round 3, 2:02)
#3 David Teymur vs. Drakkar Klose
This fight was somewhat the opposite of Medeiros/Oliveira; as neither Teymur nor Klose engaged in much ‘fighting’, so to speak.
Teymur kept his distance from Klose; keeping the latter, who is a wily grappler, at bay. Referee Herb Dean intervened and urged both fighters to engage more, but to no avail.
Teymur comfortably out-pointed Klose, before being given the decision victory by the judges.
Result: David Teymur def. Drakkar Klose via Unanimous Decision (30-27, 30-27, 29-28)
#4 Felice Herrig vs. Courtney Casey
Felice Herrig showcased her vastly improved striking game in this matchup, as she landed often and precise on Casey.
Herrig seemed poised to likely finish this fight but lacked power in her strikes to do that. Casey, on the other hand, seemed to have no defence whatsoever.
With Herrig constantly landing, and Casey doing nothing much, the judges awarded the decision victory to Herrig.
Result: Felice Herrig def. Courtney Casey via Split Decision (28-29, 29-28, 29-28)
