ROUND ONE: John Manley is the official. Here we go. They touch and Oliveira misses a high kick, leg kicks by Lyle and Oliveira shoots, gets the takedown and then Oliveira with good lefts as he gets the side/back of Lyle. Side control against the cage by Oliveira, postures up and lands five rights to Lyle. More rights by Oliveira, gets the back and then transitions into a triangle attempt. Elbows by Oliveira, Lyle escapes the triangle try and into the guard he goes. Kimura try by Oliveira, and then into the guard.

SCORECARD:: Oliveira controlled most of the round, but took damage late as the huge cut was opened up. A very close round, but I have to go with Oliveira as he had control and some very good near submissions.
The doctor checks Oliveira, and the fight has been stopped due to the nasty ass cut he suffered.
THE RESULT: Lyle "Fancy Pants'' Beerbohm via RD1 (5:00) Doctor's Stoppage
Quadros is with Beerbohm. He compliments his opponent, and then his sponsors, trainers and his mom. Beerbohm talks the basics, and says he wants the winner of Diaz vs. Alvarez. He'll beat either one of them.

Middleweight Bout: Alexander Shlemenko (29-5) vs. Robert "BUBBA" McDaniel (12-4):

Shlemenko pops out, punches by Bubba but Shlemenko gets to guard and they stands. Bubba shoots, avoids an elbow and then at the bell Shlemenko nails Bubba with flying knee under the heart, not a groin shot as I first thought. Vicious.
SCORECARD:: Bubba controlled the round with great submission tries, I have it 10-9, but Bubba is hurt and may not be able to continue.
It has been called as Bubba is badly hurt and being helped to his feet.
THE RESULT: Alexander Shlemenko via RD2 (0:00) TKO (McDaniel cannot answer the bell)
Quadros is with Shlemenko. Shlemenko says the groundwork was not an issue, he was waiting for his opponent to get tired. Shlemenko thinks he broke his opponents ribs.
Quadros is with Manley, the official. He was not sure if it was a groin shot, and he stopped nothing because the bell rang. He then says Shlemenko backed off and didn't finish due to that.
-Quadros is with Robbie Lawler. They talk the title fight vs. Villasenor on November 8th.

ROUND ONE: Todd Henderson is the official. And here we go, they touch and a great combo by Lapsley, vicious knees to Stumpf against the cage and Stumpf clinches. Stumpf wants the takedown, knees as well and Lapsley pulls Stumpf down, but Stumpf goes right into the guard. Half guard by Stumpf, but then he stands.

Lapsley with a great escape, into the guard of Stumpf and the round will end.
SCORECARD:: Lapsley controlled the round again and is easily up 20-18. I am amazed that Stumpf did NOTHING with the mount at the end there.
ROUND THREE: Final round now and they touch, a left and body kick by Lapsley connect. They clinch, knees by Lapsley and he has Stumpf against the cage. Lapsley maintains control and slams Stumpf down. Into the guard, Stumpf wants to hold him close, as his corner instructed, and that isn't going to help him win right now. Elbows by Lapsley, avoids Stumpf's tries at hand control and now the official calls time, don't know why but back to action we go on the ground. Lapsley is working elbows and rights while Stumpf keeps trying to hold him down. They get stood up, bad restart as Lapsley was working. Stumpf misses a flying knee, caught and Lapsley takes him right back down. Lapsley with short body shots from the guard. Stumpf looks for a triangle attempt as Lapsley had him stacked, knees by Lapsley and he is out of trouble. They get stood up again, they both throw wild shots and the round ends.
SCORECARD:: Stumpf needed to be aggressive but wasn't. Lapsley took this easily 30-27.
THE RESULT: Anthony Lapsley via Majority Decision (29-29, 30-27, 30-27)
Quadros is with Anthony Lapsley. He said he did his best and that it was a hard fight. He puts over his opponent, and he says he wanted to pass guard, but it was tough so he did what he had to. Lapsley is up for a title defense or a title fight.

Khalidov KILLS Guida with an uppercut as he tried to get up. Guida grabs a leg, elbows by Khalidov and then body shots. North south now, to the feet and we get time as Guida lost his mouthpiece. Guida is gassed here and they can't find his mouthpiece, and the crowd hates this. We get a swearing tirade, and now Guida will not take a new one. Manley threatens to DQ Guida. And here we go again. Leg kicks by Khalidov, jab by Guida and then a combo by Khalidov. Jabs by Guida, high kick by Khalidov and then he unloads on Guida against the cage and it is stopped.

-Mauro and Quadros discuss the main event.
-We get a video package for Dave Herman (11-0) vs. Kerry "Meat Truck" Schall!
Heavyweight Bout: Dave "Pee Wee" Herman (11-0) vs. Kerry "Meat Truck" Schall (22-10):
ROUND ONE: John Manley is the official. They come out, Herman with a push kick and then throws some wacky looking kicks that miss. Push kick again by Herman, again and they clinch, knees by Herman and then Schall NAILS Herman with a great right. He follows up with a couple more rights, but then knees by Herman land, Schall is down, hammer fists and then rights and lefts and IT IS ALL OVER! Schall has NO clue where he is right now.
As we see the replay, Herman caught Schall with a low blow (a knee) and then went to the ground and pound. That's unfortunate. We'll say that the officiating was "sub-par" tonight.
THE RESULT: Dave "Pee Wee" Herman via RD1 (1:06) TKO
Quadros is with Herman thanks his sponsors and then says he has not been working Muay Thai. He just worked what he thought was the right thing to do. Herman is asked about the low blow and says he didn't see it. He closes by saying that he wants to fight soon, and doesn't care who it is.
-Mauro and Quadros discuss the low blow, and they question if it had a factor in the decision.
Remember to leave a score of 1-10 in the comment section as well as your fight of the night!
