Very close round. Between rounds, a tooth of Frank's is stuck in his mouthpiece. James dominates the second eventually getting the takedown, passing to mount, and locking in an armbar.

Frank is disappointed in his performance.

Next Week: Infection goes around the house, someone hits themselves with a hammer, two people fight.

Show Comments: Solid show this week. The first fight was really quick while the second fight was back and fourth and really good. Not much to complain about. I wonder if Damarques owes James $100.
