The crowd was hot from the get-go, chanting ‘Bruiserweight’ from the stands. There was a lot of grappling in the early part of this match, with Dunne working on Burch’s wrist and Burch reversing it with a leg takedown, into a chin lock. Burch attacked Dunne's fingers next, much to the amusement of the crowd. The match quickly devolved into a slap fest with shoulder takedowns, although Burch could not lock a crossface in. We saw Dunne assume control with a shot to the head as we went into a commercial break soon after.
