Correction, left hook.

At the final bell of the fourth, Song drops Simon with a jab.

It would have to be a finish from Simon to win now.

Song is slipping every offering from Simon.

Fourth round and Song starts off well, defending three straight takedown attempts from Simon.

Another strong round for Song. Two to go.

Song gets close on a guillotine, but is forced to let it go.

Song does a fairly good job of keeping Simon at bay in the first.

Everythings slowed down in the third round.

Acosta is showing his toughness, but not much more.

de Lima lands a takedown, and some pitter-patter ground and pound.

Limas leg kicks were very much the story of the first round, probably winning him the round 10-9.

De Lima vs Acosta

The heavyweights take center stage next in the combat sports premier division.

Waters Wins!!

Trey Waters takes home a unanimous decision.

Waters is winning this round, but is throwing very little, preferring to make his opponent miss instead.

Waters recovers fully and has picked Quinlan apart for almost the rest of the round.

Quinlan rocks Waters early in the second.

Interesting first round, with Waters using his reach to counter and stay out of range. 10-9 in his favor.

Josh Quinlan vs Trey Waters

1-0 Josh Quinlan takes on a literally huge test as we see the UFC debut of 6'5 welterweight Trey Waters in our main card opener.
