Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida was home to a wonderful night. The card saw eight decisions, including four (T) KOs, two submissions, and two split decisions.
Night Fights: Cup Swanson vs. Cron Gracie
Cup Swanson and Cron Gracie Hell scraps over Florida and throws more than 500 punches over the street for fans of combat. Swanson landed at a rate slightly higher than 43% of Gracie, 46%, and will successfully defend all of Gracie's takedown attempts. Swanson certainly won all three rounds, but Gracie spent his moments and could never fight. If it was 5 rounds, Gracie turned around, but in this round 3, two took part in a fierce stand-up battle to see Cub win with a smart game plan and lots of bodywork. It was a great way to ride Swanson's great performance and 4 fight skiing.

Night performances: Marlon Vera, Nico Price
Marlon Vera He had a clinic against Andre Iwell and finished in three rounds despite Ewell's tough jaws. The two traded shots and kicks, but “Chito” had a clear advantage in working even on the floor of the mat. At the end of the fight, Vera used a deadly kick strategy to stop Ewell and minimize attacks. Ewell's jaw was solid overall, but thirdly the onslaught of punches, knees and kicks finally started to crumble him. Ewell was able to avoid the guillotine attempt for the third time, but later gave in to elbow shooting.

Nico Price He was a man on a mission, winning in front of a house crowd, and in a way that emphasized the way. The two join immediately and Price gets Vick on the mat. They staggered and eventually Big got his feet back and started dropping bombs off the summit before the price took place. In the true Niko Price way, he starts upkick and cools down Vick.
