At this point in the tournament, the Guerillas of Destiny are in the lead, commanding eighteen points in first place. EVIL & SANADA, Tomohiro Ishii & Toru Yano and the Killer Elite Squad are not too far behind with sixteen points. It’s still anyone’s game.

Carlos Diego Ferreira has gone 4-2 in the UFC and is on a two fight winning streak, he’s looking to take a crack at a top twenty or so opponent with another win here. Kyle Nelson took this fight on very short notice but does have a six fight winning streak to his name, suffice it to say a win here would be the biggest of his career. Given the short notice nature of this fight it’s no surprise that Ferreira is a big -550 favorite to a +400 payout for Nelson.

Valentina Shevchenko is looking for her first UFC title in this bout, she dropped to flyweight after a controversial split decision loss in her bid for the bantamweight title. Shevchenko has been highly respected in the combat sports world but this would be the biggest win of her MMA career by far. Joanna Jedrzejczyk is the former long time strawweight champion but after losing her title and then failing to reclaim it she’s looking for greener pastures up at flyweight. Jedrzejczyk defeated Tecia Torres earlier this year and is trying to make history in this bout by becoming the first woman in UFC history to win titles in two different weight classes. The odds for this fight favor Shevchenko at -350 against a +270 comeback for Jedrzejczyk.

Dry fretboards are not your friend. Rosewood and ebony fretboards are non-lacquered and require a bit of care to keep them sweet. Lemon oil is most commonly used to help re-moisten the fretboard as well as clean it. Let the oil soak in and it will stop the fretboard from shrinking or becoming brittle.

That cut would have stopped the fight even if Nelson hadn’t got the submission I think. Mic time for Nelson, who says the end was what he thought but the fight was a scrap all the way through. He says he got a little off balance from some of the damage but eventually he got on top and finished things. He talks through the reversal from the first round and plans on being more safe in that position in the future. We get a replay of the finish, that’s a horrible amount of blood that just came flowing from Oliveira’s face, and Nelson talks us through the finish to close his interview.

ROUND THREE: They touch gloves, Gadleha tries a double leg that Ansaroff blocks. Another takedown attempt but again Ansaroff blocks and this time lands a couple of hooks. Body work from Ansaroff as she’s looking to angle on Gadelha. The jab from Ansaroff is working, and she’s landing calf kicks again as well. Ansaroff lands a leg kick and a jab. More calf kicks from Ansaroff, Gadelha’s movement is a bit compromised. Right uppercut from Ansaroff and more jabs. Gadelha has no answer to that jab and leg kick. Ansaroff with a steady stream of calf kicks and jabs, she avoids a sloppy takedown attempt from Gadelha. Gadelha is a big moving target at distance, Ansaroff is striking with near impunity. Right to the body from Ansaroff. They split jabs but Ansaroff is landing collow up offense and Gadelha is just plodding forward. More leg kicks from Ansaroff. Gadelha lands a right but eats an uppercut. Another calf kick from Ansaroff will bring the clock all the way down.

They tried stopping him but didn’t have much luck. Kane entered and the two giants stared each other out. After some strong strikes, Kane low-blowed Show, picked him up, and dumped him like a 500 Ib sack of potatoes. Angle snuck up on Kane and Olympic Slammed him over the top rope to the floor; leaving the same four men in the ring. RVD out! The ECW legend hit a few of his trademark moves before running in to Triple H. He ate a massive pedigree and sold it like he’d been shot.

The entrance and staredown took up a lot of time. When they finally got going, the countdown clock was up for the next entrant. The Hurricane came out and tried to chokeslam them at the same time .. but they looked at each other bewildered before eliminating the super hero together. Faarooq came out next with some heavy shots, but somehow didn’t last as long as The Hurricane. JR noted that while Austin and Triple H didn’t like each other, they were working together so they could have the ring to themselves.

Beretta hit the ropes, but Jado nailed him with a kendo stick from the floor, as the Guerillas took over. Jado continued to attack Beretta with the stick on the floor. Loa hit Beretta with an attitude adjustment on the apron. 

Here’s the finish. They were both trading in close and on the break Santos wobbles him, he then winds up with an uppercut from hell that’s blocked, he goes back to it and when it lands he forces Manuwa back to the fence then the left hook follows it up starches him.
