Sosuke Watanabe (1-1) vs. Malcolm McGrath (0-0)
Summary: The Australian BJJ trainee Malcolm McGrath makes his debut here against karate specialist Sosuke Watanabe of Japan. While Sosuke started the first half of Round 1 in control with keeping his distance with a variety of kicks, McGrath eventually would get a takedown or 2 in each round thereafter and really worked the ground and pound with a few nice submission attempts. Hence the convincing decision here.
Keoni Keanu (0-0) vs. Rocco Merrick (0-0)
Summary: Recently retired wrestler Keoni Keanu of New Zealand felt quite downtrodden after the way Luke Warm caused his departure from that squared circle. He put his anger and frustration to good use as now he's fully trained for this squared circle here in PRELIATOR. Credit to New Jersey boxer Rocco Merrick for hanging in there, but Keoni proved that his style is to go for your arm and make you submit. That's exactly what he did.
Lester Menefee (2-0) vs. John Naylor (1-1)
Summary: Both guys entered this fight coming off a win. However, Lester Menefee has really impressed coming in with both of his wins by submission. Tonight, we saw another dynamic to this talented fighter as he manhandled Wheeling, WV native John Naylor with suplexes. Menefee continues to prove he is quite dangerous.
