Trevo, que parecía estar en forma superior entrando na loita, estaba cheo de clase na derrota. "Cando entra nunha pelexa e ten que vencer ten que amosar respecto,"Dixo Shamrock. "Estou errado, Tiven a presentación, pero eu non tomar o meu tempo con el. Eu perdín a miña posición. Tente embaralhar, pero eu non era tan rápido e eu fun pego. "

 

Na co-metragem e potencial de retorno "Loita da noite do Ano,"Actual campión dos penas do bellator Mundo Patrick “Pitbull” Freire (24-2) retained his title against Daniel "Weasel" Weichel (35-9) cun fermoso nocaute gancho de esquerda de 32 segundos para a segunda rolda.

Xusto cando parecía que ía McCarthy árbitro deter a acción, a primeira rolda campá soou por riba da hora para salvar Freire a partir dun impresionante KO no primeiro round.

 

Tras a loita, unha aparentemente atordoados "Pitbull" non parecen perder algunha confianza. "O meu adversario foi moi difícil, pero podo ir á guerra,", Dixo Freire. "Estou moi feliz por aínda ser o campión. Estou aquí, se quere o meu cinto pode tentar chegar buscala ".

 

"Eu creo que a campá salvoume,"Freire continuou. "El me bateu cun puñetazo forte no meu queixo, pero eu quedei tranquilo indo para a segunda quenda, porque eu sabía que necesitaba para gañar a loita. Vin un oco despois que me deu un zócolo e eu bati nel co meu mellor tiro ".

 

A Weichel visiblemente perturbada e emocional sabía que deixe unha oportunidade de ouro escapar. "Eu empecei a segunda rolda lentamente,"Dixo Weichel. "Eu non quería que el se recuperar despois da primeira rolda. Comece na ofensiva na segunda rolda e, por desgraza, eu fun pego. "

 

Na acción pesado, Bobby "The Dominator" Lashley (13-2), de Coconut Creek, Fla., traballo rápido feito de E “O Home” Charles (9-3), dominando a 29-year-old cunha gran ground and pound, un arsenal que inclúe varios suplexes. Árbitro McCarthy interrompeu a loita polo 4:14 na segunda rolda, obtendo un TKO ao tres veces campión NAIA wrestling afeccionado e súa terceira vitoria consecutiva baixo a bandeira bellator.

 

Charles, que levou a loita en aviso previo de dúas semanas despois James Thompson desistiu debido a lesión, foi overmatched polo Lashley considerablemente maior, que se mantivo en boa posición para, finalmente, disputar o título dos pesos pesados.

 

A 38-year-old referenciado seu fondo de wrestling estimado como un factor importante na reivindicando vitoria. "Sempre volver ao básico nunha loita de wrestling e é o meu fondo,", Dixo Lashley. "Eu teño seguir adiante, a división de pesos pesados ​​está aberta. Necesito manter os ollos abertos. "

 

Daniel Straus (23-6), de Coconut Creek, Fla. Parecía que está totalmente recuperado do seu título de tiro perda de Pitbull Freire, convincente batendo Henry Currais (12-1) de La Mirada, Califa. por finalización (guillotina) en 3:47 para a segunda rolda.

 

Straus parecía que el entrou na loita para facer unha declaración, rapidamente atacando Corrales con golpes consecutivos na cabeza que tiña o californiano cambaleando cara atrás en varias ocasións.

 

"Eu aínda estou dominando persoas,” said Straus. “This is what I do. Gañar ou perder Eu veño aquí para bater o meu adversario. "

 

Straus parecía seguro de que el non tería problemas recuperar o seu cinto. "Quen gañar o cinto dos penas esta noite,"Exclamou Straus. "Estou indo para vencelo."

 

Foi un valente esforzo por Currais, que facía a súa estrea bellator, pero era evidente que estaba un paso atrás Straus da campá de apertura. A perda foi só o primeiro de carreira Corrales '.

 

No primeiro concurso principal postal da noite, favorito lixeiro e cidade natal Michael Chandler (13-3), de High Ridge, Mo., traballo rápido feito de Derek "The Stallion" Campos (15-5), precisando só 2:17 secondsto marcar un submisión (mata-león) gañar.

 

Benvida de tres derrotas consecutivas, Chandler claramente parecía aliviado despois da loita. "Derek Campos é un cara duro, el me bateu na miña boca e me sangrando algo,", Dixo Chandler. "Eu estaba animado para loitar contra este cara. Non estou neste deporte de punta do dedo do pé e atopar loitas fáciles. "

 

Sentindo-se en particular confiado, Chandler chamou actual campión dos lixeiros Will Brooks, who happened to be sitting cage side. "Quero ese cinto de volta,", Dixo Chandler. "Will Brooks, que o cinto ten o meu nome nel, onde queira que estea. "
