Float like a Featherweight
Daniel Weichel vs. Emmanuel Sanchez
Featherweight Grand Prix Quarterfinal
This was quite the back and forth affair at certain points. Weichel had a lot of opportunities to show off his chin. Sanchez seemed to always have the upper hand. Sanchez didn’t necessarily walk Weichel down, but he never let him get out of whatever corner he had him backed into. Sanchez just added a pretty significant win to his resume, and it looked good. Way to move on in the tournament young man.
Rating: 8/10
Result: Unanimous Decision for Emmanuel Sanchez
Razor Thin Victory
Yaroslav Amosov vs. Logan Storley
Welterweight Fight
Amosov had a very real chance to win this fight in the first round, he had Stroley in a choke but could hold on long enough. Storley turned the fight into a brawl and landed some big time shots on Amosov. Storley also used his wrestling that he’s known for to keep himself in it on the scorecard. This fight had a little bit of everything, call it a buffet of mixed martial arts. The judges even had a tough time with this one as it ended in a split decision. This one will get talked about for a while, it truly could have gone either way.
Rating: 8/10
Result: Split Decision for Yaroslav Amosov
Main Event
Pitbull Strong
Patricio Pitbull vs. Pedro Carvalho
Featherweight Grand Prix Quarterfinal
World Championship
This one didn’t take very long at all. Pitbull stayed patient, and picked his spots. He almost submitted Carvalho, but he abandoned it when he realized that he needed to soften him up a bit more. That wasn’t necessary when you have heavy hands like Pitbull does. Pitbull caught him with a one-two combo and put him down easy. Only took a shade over two minutes. He’s the champ for a reason, and I don’t know if anyone in this tournament can take the belt from him.
Rating: 7.5/10
Result: 1st Round TKO for Patricio Pitbull
