CWC Presents: UCW 12 Dragunov v Carter

Jamie was totally outclassed on his feet, and aside from a running knee and some suplexes, he was getting thrashed in the standup. And yet, as Thiago taught him, he trusted in his jiu jitsu and kept going for the armbar when he could, and it came through in a big way in the end. That was a perfect example of where a last chance submission saved the day, because he was almost certainly finished if that didn't work.

RNA's ground sequences with Lamont were a thing of beauty, and eventually ended the match. It was really her standup that I feel won that one, her knees in the clinch making the real difference.

Turney and Worthy had the most even match of the whole set up to this point. I'm a Worthy mark, so seeing him pull away in the end with his suplexes made me happy.

Timor without Torgo at ringside loses something, but he's still a terrifying machine. Sophia was up to the task of providing a brisk workout him a but it's the rare individual who can defeat Dragunov, and he fought through her submission attempts to land his superior armlocks.

Manati had the clear size advantage going into this one, and the suplex at the end of the first round let Candace know she was in for a tough one. While Manati's striking seems a bit unrefined, it was undeniably effective, those roundhouses to the midsection taking a toll and keeping Candace off balance. Candace managed to hold her own, especially through the middle phase of the match, but as the fifth round rolled on, she simply hadn't done enough to set up her trademark legwork and to get into the depths of her arsenal, and Manati came away with an impressive win.

Good stuff! The Solokov-Tomasi match has my vote for the best of the show, with some solid technique from Solokov and a shocking comeback finish.

No injuries to report.
