Hardy is vicious and focused for the entire match, managing to elude Davis' takedown attempts, shooting in with one after another of her own. Davis manages to get off a lucky strike to the chin that splits open Hardy's tongue, but surprisingly, he is unable to make the advantage shift in his favor.

Middleweight Division Fight
Gabriel Chance vs Parker Crosby

Crosby, looking for redemption for last week's almost embarrassing loss, seems hungry and fired up as he takes the fight to Chance, only to be denied at every opening. Chance exhibits considerable skill as he reverses more than one takedown attempt before managing to dump Crosby onto his back, firing a few wicked shots to the head that Crosby doesn't deflect. Chance works his way into a mount position, looking for a choke, but Crosby slips the attempt and clinches to get back to standing. He immediately attempts his only offensive with a kick that Chance easily avoids, and catches, using the momentum to take Crosby to the ground again. A split second later, Crosby is in a rear naked choke.

Kris "Lil Kris" Peek vs "Murder City Junkie" Silas Warner

This matchup is incredible, going a long way towards redeeming Warner for his last few fights. Almost immediately, Warner pummels Peek and opens up a nasty cut. Peek, clearly looking to impress in his debut fight pulls guard, bringing Warner to the ground. Warner manages to avoid Peek's submission attempts and lands some ground and pound of his own. Several of Warner's shots have a chance of finishing Peek off, but somehow he manages to stay alive. Peek pulls guard and attempts several submissions which hurt Warner but fail to make him give up. Peek, in desperation tries to apply a triangle choke, but Warner, using all his strength, manages to overpower this attempt and lifts Peek up, slamming him down hard with a sidewalk slam.

Open Weight Fight
Gangleri the Wanderer vs Jada "Sinn" Kaine

Sinn comes into the fight looking to prove that the only loss on her record was a fluke, and she does it in style.  Gangleri looks confident as he fires off shots that pound Kaine back, only to be slapped back into place by a series of precise strikes and jabs that leaves him reeling. Gangleri wants to avoid being drawn into a wrestling match with the more experienced submissionist, but Kaine refuses to be drawn into that game, and instead continues to reverse each takedown and clinch attempt in her favor, leaving the larger man flagging on his feet. Nimble defensive work from Kaine puts Gangleri into position for a dangerous takedown, followed by a elbow to the face courtesy of the former Lightweight Champion. She follows this with a right hook from the mount position that knocks Gangleri's head off the concrete, rendering him unconscious. Kaine doesn't stop there, managing to land a few more shots that bloody Gangleri's face before the referee intervenes.

Sinn defeats Gangleri via knockout at 15:41.


Open Weight Fight: Weapons Match
Spiral vs Osborne Kilminster

The sound of marching echoes through the building.  Grinding stomps that echo through the sudden burst of chants and screams from the crowd as the houselights turn and shine down upon the stage.  Now I am become Death... the destroyer of worlds feeds through the speakers over the music.  On the abrasive, crunching downbeat, Spiral appears on the stage.  The spoiled rich crowd stands to their feet.  Some cheer him on.  Others scream for his blood.  He breathes in their derision, their disgust, their undying hatred as he moves from one side of the stage to the other, raising his hands in the air, urging on the abominators.

"Don't fret precious I'm here," begin the lyrics.  Spiral walks toward The Circle, ignoring the cheers and jeers of those with ramp-side seats.  Walking quickly up the steps, he steps into the cage, makes his way to his corner, and kneels down and closes his eyes.  The music, the noise of the crowd, it all drowns in his head, leaving only silence.  Focus, concentrate, he thinks of nothing but his opponent, waiting patiently for the beginning of the match.

The violent marching sounds of Spiral's music fade out and are replaced with the driving beat of Ministry's "Burning Inside". Kilminster makes his way out to the pit with singular focus, looking intimidating as he glares across at Spiral. As the two men stand across from each other, the announcer steps between them and begins to speak.

Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, the two men in this pit tonight will fight until only one remains standing!!!!! Introducing first... fighting out of the blue corner... He is a wrestler, with a record of three wins and no losses, standing 188 centimeters and weighing in at 94 kilograms. Ladies and gentlemen... SPIIIIIIIIRAAAAAAAAAAAAL!!!!!

Spiral doesn't react as the crowd goes into a frenzy over his name.

Announcer: And now... fighting out of the red corner... He is a mixed martial artist, with a record four wins and three losses, standing 188 centimeters and weighing in at 109 kilograms.  Ladies and gentlemen... Osbourne.... KILLLLLMINSTER!

Kilminster grins, raising his taped-up fists to the air as the crowd goes wild. Somewhere in the distance, a bell rang, and Spiral immediately rushes his opponent, almost connecting with a left hook to the cheek. Kilminster dodges sideways in time, but only just, and the koppo stick in Spiral's hand catches him in the throat. Kilminster falls back, gagging, but manages to clock Spiral in the shoulder as he backs off with his own weapon, a lump hammer. If Spiral had hesitated a fraction of a second longer, he would be missing part of his jaw. Kilminster recovers, and charges into a clinch that breaks up immediately as Spiral breaks free, swinging his fist again. This time Kilminster almost bungles the avoid, blocking with his forearm as he hopped backwards without looking at what he might be landing on. Unfortunate, since he landed on an uneven patch of concrete, rolling his ankle and losing his balance. Spiral is on him immediately, and this time the koppo stick in his fist connects with Kilminster's chin, knocking him backwards. Spiral immediately pounces to the mount position, and clobbers Kilminster on the crown of the head with the stick. Before Kilminster can rally back, Spiral swings his left fist and drives the stick into the socket below Kilminster's right eye. Kilminster goes limp, in serious pain as Spiral continues to wail away at his head and eyes, leaving Kilminster bloodied before the referee intervenes and pulls Spiral off.

Kilminster leans against the wall of the pit, struggling for air and he gets back upright, clutching his stomach. He stumbles backwards as Spiral advances, looking for space to regroup, feeling his twisted ankle reliable under his weight. Spiral moves lightning fast, blood-soaked fist held aloft as Kilminster dodges yet again. This time his ankle gives, and he goes down. Spiral lashes out, looking for a stomp, but Kilminster rolls away, swinging the hammer in desperation and connecting with the side of Spiral's knee. Looking to follow up, Kilminster lashes out with his good leg, and connects with nothing but air. His head snapped back, slamming into the unforgiving concrete as Spiral slams that same knee home into his temple.

Spiral mounts Kilminster again, looking for a repeat of the same abuse, only to wear the hammer to the face as Kilminster swings his fist, caving in Spiral's nose. Blood splatters down on Kilminster but he doesn't let up, shoving Spiral back with the force of his hammer that opens up a few more gashes across Spiral's face. Spiral falls back, and Kilminster is able to crab-walked out from beneath him, stumbling to his feet. The ankle almost holds, and he pulls that foot back, looking to stomp on Spiral's face only to have Spiral try to roll aside. Kilminster slams his foot into Spiral's right shoulder instead, and the joint separates. The koppo stick falls from that hand as Spiral seems not to notice in his bloodlust.

Kilminster staggers back as he regains his footing, and rams the head of the hammer into Spiral's stomach, driving him backwards against the concrete wall. Spiral hauls himself upright immediately, wiping blood from his mouth absently, circling Kilminster with hatred in his eyes as he pops his shoulder back into joint, almost shaking off the pain. The two immediately lock up in a clinch, and Spiral is quick to gain the advantage by kneeing Kilminster in the groin, and then the knee. He grabs the off balance Kilminster and propels him towards the wall. Unable to stop in time, Kilminster collides with the concrete, leaving a huge bloody smear. Blood spurts from Kilminster's nose as he slides down the wall, crumpling to his knees, leaving a trail of blood all the way down. Bleeding profusely, Kilminster manages to stagger back up, swinging the hammer wildly to keep Spiral at bay as he finds his footing, connecting with a shot to the ear that sends Spiral down to his knees.

Spiral reaches out with his left hand, grabbing Kilminster's foot and pulling him off balance. Kilminster goes down hard on the unforgiving concrete as his ankle gives way again, and he's forced to break guard, and move to the offensive. The impact jars his spine, rattling his teeth as he crashes down beside Spiral, blood flowing from his mouth as he nearly bites through his own tongue. He misses Spiral drawing back his fist, as he tries to shake off the pain, reaching for his fallen hammer as the loop slips from his wrist. The end of the koppo stick catches him in the cheek again, this time sliding up and ending against Kilminster's eye. Momentarily blinded, he doesn't see Spiral's elbow coming until it's nearly taken his head off, shattering Kilminster's cheekbone. Spiral, spilling pint after pint of blood down on Kilminster continues to batter him until the referee stops the fight. It's only then that Spiral succumbs to his own blood loss, passing out beside the battered body of Kilminster.

Spiral defeats Kilminster via knockout at 33:15.
