Notables in attendance included recent PXC winner Joe Camacho, referee extraordinaire Larry Landless and No Limits \ Team Oyama's Rob Emerson (TUF 5 fighter). Here is how all the action went down.
Mychal Clark wins by TKO (elbow \ strikes) at 1:48 of the first round over Mitch Fuller The fighters faced off and the night got underway - Clark connected with a low kick while Fuller pushed to go to the ground but Clark didn’t let him and connected with a knee. Fuller, pushing forward, tied up with Clark allowing Clark to push back and connect with a clean elbow to the chin - Fuller fell back onto the mat. Clark was able to land a couple more strong punches before the referee stepped in to stop the fight. Fuller needed to be taken out on a stretcher for further medical attention. We wish him well.

Round two saw Robles going for the take down again - Robles was unable to get it and while on their feet, Mitichyan connected with a strong punch - Robles was able to counter and get the take down.

The round ends with Robles on top connecting with a few strikes. A slow start to round three - Robles was first to strike but no punches connected. Mitichyan went in and connected with a powerful knee that knocked Robles out cold. Great win for Mitichyan who was down on my scorecard - Mitichyan is now the new Middleweight Champion.
