C.B. DOLLAWAY (9-3) VS. TOM LAWLOR (6-1): Round 1: (Tom Lawlor is coming to the cage with “Who Let the Dogs Out?” playing. Seth Petruzelli is on a chain, bone in mouth, walking on all fours. Really; I can’t possibly make this stuff up.) Dollaway opens the bout with a nice one-two combination. Lawlor swings, but Dollaway ducks under and shoots. While airborne, Lawlor slaps on a guillotine choke. Dollaway hits his back, and there’s little movement seconds later. Lawlor yells at the ref that Dollaway is out cold, and Yves Lavigne jumps in to break up the bout with Dollaway clear out cold.

YOSHIHIRO AKIYAMA (12-1) VS. ALAN BELCHER (13-4): Round 3: An energetic pace opens the round as the fighters trade punches and leg kicks. Akiyama gets through a combination before Belcher throws him with a punch and kick to the body. Akiyama answers with a shot to the head. This Muay Thai fight is proving more evenly matched as the round goes on, and Belcher is starting to figure out Akiyama. Belcher just misses a well-timed right forearm to the face, sidesteps a spinning back kick and lands kicks to the body and legs before whiffing on a roundhouse to the head. Akiyama’s left eye is nearly swollen shut, and Belcher attacks that side of his body. Belcher slips after a kick and then does a backward roll to avoid Akiyama rushing in and gets back back to his feet, much to the crowd’s delight. Akiyama then pops him with a left, but Belcher backs him up with jabs before whiffing on a telegraphed spinning back fist. Akiyama uses the opportunity to score a takedown, but Belcher quickly gets back to his feet to trade a few blows before the fight ends.
