Josh Fremd vs Gregory Rodrigues – Middleweight
Round 1
Fremd starts out with Jabs. Rodrigues is patient and rocks Fremd. Rodrigues settles down and KOs Fremd with a 1-2. 🚩Rodrigues wins by KO
At range Fremd looked a little out of his element. when the fight slows down, Fremd looks a little out of ideas. When there is chaos, that’s when Fremd shines. Rodrigues didnt look that special to me, but he was composed, he is the LFA middleweight champ, and he will be in the UFC
Mark Climaco vs Rodney Kealohi – Flyweight
Round 1
Climaco gets close and wrestles Kealohi
Round 2
Climaco throws good hands and wrestles
Round 3
Climaco eats some elbows in the clinch. 🚩Climaco wins by unanimous decision
Climaco is ready for the UFC. The only problem I have with Climaco is his style, he has a grinding, hard-nose style that I think takes a toll on your body. He has very crisp hands though, so maybe he can keep his wrestling in his back pocket and use his hands a little more. Climaco hasn’t showed me that he has much power, but he has very crisp striking. Climaco’s wrestling looks legit, but he has problems finishing people. Kealohi is very good, he needs better defensive wrestling, and his striking needs a little work

Ernesto Ancona won this fight
Kathryn Paprocki vs Tiani Valle – Strawweight
Round 1
Striking from Valle looks Crisp. Just a bloody mess
Round 2
More of a bloody mess
Round 3
Paprocki is able to jump on Valle’s back and get the RNC to get the win. 🚩Paprocki wins by submission
This was a great fight. Valle has great hands and good footwork, but her Jiu Jitsu and wrestling isn’t there yet. Paprocki has good clinch Muay Thai, and kicks, but her hands and footwork are very very basic. Paprocki’s grappling looks great also. I hope to see more from both these ladies
