Charles Byrd put on a dominant performance against a seemingly over matched John Phillips.

Byrd dominated the brief matchup in every avenue, before locking on a slick Rear-Naked Choke on Phillips. The end came in the very first round of the fight, as the choke seemed tight with Phillips failing to successfully defend it despite implementing the requisite technique to counter it.

Result: Charles Byrd def. John Phillips via Submission (Rear-Naked Choke) (Round 1, 3:58)


#2 Danny Roberts vs. Oliver Enkamp

Danny Roberts made short work of his opponent Oliver Enkamp, by landing a crushing left-hand square on the jaw.

Roberts tested the range by sliding in and out, eating a few kicks in the process. However, something noteworthy which preceded the end is, that Enkamp threw the same oblique kick multiple times while stationary, whereas Roberts kept moving laterally.

Roberts then timed one of Enkamp’s incoming oblique kicks and, tagged the latter with a left hand which crumbled Enkamp.

Result: Danny Roberts def. Oliver Enkamp via KO (Punch) (Round 1, 2:12)


#3 Danny Henry vs Hakeem Dawodu

Danny Henry was expected to serve as a stepping stone for highly regarded prospect Hakeem Dawodu.

However, the opposite turned out to be true, as Henry tagged Dawodu with a beautiful 1-2 from long range. After dropping his foe to the mat, Henry relentlessly pursued the Guillotine Choke and sunk it in after a couple of scrambles to put Dawodu to sleep.
