Basta kapag ito mukhang humatol McCarthy ay itigil ang aksyon, sa unang round bell ang tunog lang sa nick ng oras upang i-save Freire mula sa isang kaakit-akit na first-round knockout.

 

Pagkatapos ng away, isang wari masindak "Pitbull" hindi mukhang mawawala ang anumang kumpiyansa. "My kalaban ay masyadong matigas, ngunit ako ay maaaring pumunta sa digmaan,"Sabi Freire. "Ako napakasaya sa pa rin ang kampeon. Ako dito, kung nais mo ang aking sinturon maaari mong subukan na dumating makakuha ng ito. "

 

"Naniniwala ako na ang bell save sa akin,"Patuloy Freire. "Siya hit sa akin na may isang hard suntok sa aking baba ngunit nanatili ako kalmado pagpunta sa second round dahil alam ko na kailangan upang manalo sa labanan. Nakita ko ang isang pambungad na matapos siya punched ako at hit sa kanya sa aking pinakamahusay na pagbaril. "

 

Alam A nakikitang takot na takot at emosyonal Weichel hayaan siya ng isang ginintuang pagkakataon makawala. "Ako nagsimula ang pangalawang ikot ng dahan-dahan,"Sabi Weichel. "Hindi ko gusto sa kanya upang mabawi matapos ang unang round. Ako nagsimula sa nakakasakit sa pangalawang ikot at sa kasamaang palad ako got nahuli. "

 

Sa matimbang aksyon, Bobby "The Dominator" Lashley (13-2), ng Coconut Creek, FLA., ginawa mabilis na gawain ng At “Ang Man” Charles (9-3), dominating ang 29-taong-gulang na may isang mahusay na lupa at pound, isang arsenal na kasama ang mga maramihang suplexes. Tumigil Tagahatol McCarthy sa paglaban sa 4:14 sa ikalawang round na nagreresulta sa isang TKO para sa mga tatlong-time NAIA amateur pakikipagbuno kampeon at ang kanyang ikatlong sunod na panalo sa ilalim ng banner Bellator.

 

Charles, na kinuha ang away sa notice ng dalawang linggo 'matapos James Thompson bumaba dahil sa pinsala, ay overmatched ng masyado malaki Lashley, na nag-iingat ng kanyang sarili sa magandang posisyon upang tuluyang makipag-agawan para matimbang pamagat.

 

Ang 38-taong-gulang na isinangguni kanyang pinahahalagahan ng background pakikipagbuno bilang isang pangunahing kadahilanan sa pagtubos ng tagumpay. "Palagi kang bumalik sa iyong pangunahing kaalaman sa isang away at pakikipagbuno ay ang aking background,"Sabi Lashley. "Kailangan ko upang mapanatili ang paglipat ng pasulong, matimbang dibisyon ay malawak na bukas. Kailangan ko upang panatilihing bukas ang aking mga mata. "

 

Daniel Straus (23-6), ng Coconut Creek, FLA. tumingin tulad ng ganap na siya ay may rebounded mula sa kanyang title shot pagkawala sa Pitbull Freire, convincingly pamamalo Henry Corrales (12-1) ng La Mirada, Calif. sa pamamagitan ng pagsumite (gilotina sumakal) sa 3:47 sa dalawang round.

 

Straus mukhang siya ay dumating sa paglaban upang gumawa ng isang pahayag, mabilis na pag-atake Corrales sa sunod-sunod na suntok sa ulo na nagkaroon ng Californian pagsuray paurong sa maramihang mga okasyon.

 

"Pa rin ako ng dominating tao,” said Straus. “This is what I do. Manalo o mawalan ng dumating ako sa dito upang talunin ang aking mga kalaban. "

 

Straus tila tiwala na siya ay walang mga isyu sa pagbawi ng kanyang sinturon. "Kahit sino ay nanalo ang featherweight belt mamayang gabi,"Bulalas Straus. "Ako ay darating na matalo up sa iyo."

 

Ito ay isang matapang na pagsisikap sa pamamagitan Corrales, sino ay ang paggawa ng kanyang Bellator pasinaya, ngunit ito ay malinaw na siya ay isang hakbang sa likod Straus mula sa opening bell. Ang pagkawala ay ang unang sa Corrales 'karera lamang.
