Round 2 - Goes the same as the 1st round, it seemed Denny had just a little more control and more

submission attempts. WINNER THOMAS DENNY BY  UNANIMOUS DECISION

hot.

FIGHT 4 

Brian Hawkins vs. Todd Medina
Round 1 - Hawkins attempts a high shoot, Medina stops him and applies a guillotine choke which seemed

like forever so Medina gives up on the choke, shoves Hawkins back, releasing the choke and delivering a

right hand to the face, then Hawkins delivers a right of his own so Medina goes for the take down. Hawkins

counters and ends up on top, delivers a couple of strikes opening a cut above the right eye of Medina. Ref

stops the fight to check the eye. The doctor also checks the eye and stops the fight. WINNER BRIAN

HAWKINS BY TKO. (REF STOPPAGE DUE TO CUT ABOVE EYE)

Backstage Medina told me that he wasn't training for a fight. That he got the call last night around 11pm

(and) that he probably shouldn't of been out there but that he loves this sport and he will try to do anything

he can to help out. The Spirit of a true warrior.

fight. A small cut opened up on Gardner, the doctor checks him and lets him continue. A point is deducted

from Vasquez. Both come out for the kill, Vasquez connecting with some punches but Gardner returns the

favor, punching his way through Vasquez and landing on top, punching down on Vazquez every time he

attempted a submission. Vazquez went for a knee bar and Gardner wasn't able to get out of it and with the
