Ariya Daivari vs Ari Sterling on 205 Live
Since joining 205 Live, Ari Sterling has lost just one match, and that was against Tony Nese. However, he'd beaten Asher Hale, the man who had just beaten the former Cruiserweight Champion in the previous bout. A win tonight could shoot him to the top of the cruiserweight division.
205 Live's Daivari Dinero went after Sterling's leg, chopping him down on the apron and hitting a chop block on the floor. Back in the ring, he hit Sterling with a series of leg breakers. Ari managed to break away from Ariya Daivari's clutches momentarily but was dropped face-first on the top turnbuckle.
Daivari doubled down on that leg damage, launching the left leg into the ring post and steel steps. Inside the ring, Sterling was locked in a Figure-4 Leglock. The newcomer pulled himself close to the ropes, but Daivari rolled him back to the center of the ring. Sterling rocked 205 Live's resident brawler with some big right hands before finally breaking away.
On one leg, Sterling hit a series of flying kicks on Daivari, including a fantastic Pele kick. A leg trip and rolling ax kick dropped Daivari. However, the damaged knee kept Sterling from pinning the 205 Live veteran
Daivari sat up top only to be launched to the mat with a leaping hurricanrana. Again, the injured leg left him unable to secure a good pinfall attempt. Sterling moved up but was cut off by Daivari, who chopped that left leg out from under him. It was time for another Figure-4 Leglock.
Sterling broke away and hit the MoonSauce, one leg and all. However, as they moved back inside the ring, Daivari caught him in between the ropes with a leg drop to the knee. A single leg Boston Crab in the middle of the ring left Sterling in agony. Would he tap out in the 205 Live main event?
Not likely. Sterling scratched and crawled to the bottom ropes, finally breaking the hold. They moved to the top once again, this time with Sterling sending Daivari careening to the mat. Sterling hit the Spiral Tap, picking up a major win, giving him three wins on 205 Live.
Results: Ari Sterling defeated Ariya Daivari via pinfall on 205 Live.
