George Lockhart vs. Gene Gildea
Lockhart via armbar at 1:26 of the third round. Two magnificently conditioned athletes put on a display of close quarter striking, grappling, and grit.

Gates unveiled a ripped out physique and a relentless attack. Benefield managed several submission attempts and slick escapes but Gates’ strength seemed to be the deciding factor. Gates via ref stoppage at 2:57 of round three. Punches from the mount.

Newman returned to the wrecking machine of old. Displaying a variety of slams, scrambles and strikes. Newman wins via Referee stoppage around the two-minute mark of round one. Strikes from the side mount.
