July 27, 2007 Chumash Casino Resort Santa Ynez, California 11 p.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME
- KJ Noons vs. Edson Berto Winner: 45 second in round 3 winner by spectacular knock out
KJ Noons: “This is definitely a different feeling than I had the first time I fought on Showtime but it solidified what I have been saying all along that my last MMA fight was a fluke. Berto started fast but you saw what happens when you break a fighter down.”
“This was obviously a nice win for me and it reestablishes my status in MMA. I don’t want to say that a loss would have been devastating but now I am right back where I need to be.”
Edson Berto: “I was really dehydrated and very fatigued. It just didn’t allow me to be myself out there.”

- Jaime Jara vs. Jeremiah Metcalf Winner: Jaime Jara - First round 4 minutes 15 seconds by way of knock out
Jaime Jara: “I think it tells a lot about a guy like me who can win a fight like this on two days notice. I had to cut a bunch of weight so that is why I was a little slow. Winning my fourth belt in my 4th different weight class is quite an accomplishment. I am a warrior. I get calls all the time to fight. I am always ready to fight.
Jeremiah Metcalf: “I had him where I wanted him, but the punch flashed me, but it wasn’t a knock out, I was fine, they called it too early.”
