Fight #1 Ryan Chambers (1-3-0) v. Cowboy Jones (0-3-0)
Round 1:
Ryan Chambers offered a glove touch, which the disrespectful Cowboy Jones declined, shooting him the double bird instead. When that led to a bit of jawjacking back and forth, the referee stepped in to make sure both fighters backed off before callling for the fight to start. They were both slinging the leather early, keeping this a standup fight as expected. Chambers abandoned his stand up technique, and was lured into a brawl by Jones following the pre-fight antics. Cowboy was scoring well, connecting with a combination of quick punches to the body and head before finishing with a whipping outside leg kick, for his best strike of the fight so far. He pushed forward, continuing to throw, but was too aggressive, and walked into a counter right hand that caught him flush on the jaw. Jones went rubbery legged, and another right hand followed by some ground and pound were enough to make the ref step in.

During his postfight interview, Ryan Chambers got a little emotional, knowing he might have been on the chopping block if he had lost again here tonight. He said that he knew that both his and Jones's back were against the wall coming into this fight, and that was more than enough to fire him up. Pointing out that he got out of this fight unscathed without any injuries, he asked for another fight as soon as possible, this time against someone ranked in the NFA.
Fight #2 #11 Ryan Murphey (1-0) v. #12 Chester Mann (1-0)
Round 1:
The fighters circled to start round one, with Murphey looking to avoid the heavy hands of Chester Mann. He shot for a double leg takedown from too far out, and it was easily stuffed by Mann, who landed a couple of good punches from the sprawl position before Murphey rolled to his back. He looked to initiate a 50/50 position, and fish for a leg lock, but Chester Mann was wise to it and motioned for to stand back up. Murphey slowly scooted back to his feet, and cautiously tries to work his way inside on Mann. He was able to avoid most of the hard looping shots from Chester, and looked for a double overhook greco-roman throw. Mann was deftly able to momentum toss Ryan towards the cage, and followed up with a superman punch. He started throwing wide and wild, causing Murphey to cover up, before firing back with punches of his own. His strikes started hitting home, but the iron-jawed Mann was able to eat them, and drop his foe with a left hook. He dove in to follow up with a big right hand, missing it and hitting the mat instead. Murphey stayed pulling guard, inviting Mann to follow up with more ground and pound. but Chester instead chose to leg kick him until the ref stepped in and forced a stand up. The rest of the round was fairly uneventful, up until the bell sounded.
Round 2:
In between rounds, the corner cam showed Chester Mann's cornermen worried that he broke his hand on that attempt to finish Murphey on the ground. Chester responded by saying he was good, and still had another hand that worked, while in the Murphey corner he was told to do a better job of setting up his takedowns. Mann pushed forward right away, staying aggressive, and looking to mix up righty elbows with left hooks as he stalked his foe. He got too wild, allowing Ryan to deftly perform a standing back take, looking for a standing rear naked choke! As Chester got pulled down to the mat trying to defend it, he was able to defend well enough to avoid the RNC, but wound up in a d'arce choke as he rotated in a sloppy attempt to get up to his feet. Murphey managed to turn with the choke, and force the tap to pick up an important win!
#11 Ryan Murphey (2-0) def #12 Chester Mann (1-1) via Submission (D'arce Choke) @ 0:25 Round 2
A fired up Murphey said post-fight that Chester was a tough guy and hits hard, but all he needed was a second to drag you to the mat and it was over. He said that the NFA roster was tough, but there wasn't a person on it he couldn't submit. For the future, he said he was #11 coming in and just finished a guy who is known for being tough to get out of there, so that should be enough to get him into the top ten and give him a big name opponent for his next fight. By the time the interview was over, it was very clear that his intention was to make his way up the rankings as quickly as possible into NFA Championship contention.
Fight #3 #8 Heather Stevens (2-2-1) v. #13 Raechel Lynne Bello (1-0-0)
Round 1:
The fight was a stand up affair in round one, with Heather Stevens using her kicks to keep the distance, and prevent Raechel from getting inside where she could use her quick hands. Stevens was fairly successful using this strategy, landing some decent leg kicks and a solid kick to the body. A little later, a kick was caught and she was tripped down to the mat. She tried to scramble up, and got quickly swarmed by a flurry of punches into a single leg takedown attempt. Heather defended that well enough, but after switching to a bodylock, Raechel tripped her down. She tried to move right into side control, but got brought back to half guard quickly. After a couple short strikes, her ground and pound got essentially smothered as Stevens held onto her, making it difficult to posture up and unload. Finally, the fight got stood back up. Not a lot happened from there, mostly Heather controlling distance with kick attempts that Bello was able to avoid.
Round 2:
The Throne corner told Raechel to keep it up, but just conserve her gas tank a little better instead of going for those huge strike flurries. Meanwhile, the Slaughter team told Stevens not to get away from the leg kicks this round. Sure enough, Heather followed the instructions of her team, and largely neutralized Bello. She used a lot of push kicks to the leg, and oblique kicks to the knee. These served both like a jab to keep distance, and to slow down the movement and mobility of her foe. As she was able to control the range, she managed to land solid outside leg kicks whenever Raechel got close to being within striking range. This rather lackluster pace continued for the duration of the round, with the crowd booing as they headed back to their stools.
Round 3:
Heather was told in between rounds that she did beautiful work there, and to keep it, adding that the knockout would be there when this kid started getting reckless. Raechel Lynne was told that it was one round a piece, and she needed to take this round, while also emphasizing that she needed to check those leg kicks. The action was very slow to start round 3, with each fighter wanting to play counter-striker. Stevens was having a bit of a better time with that, again scoring points with a variety of leg kicks. Finally, Lynne bit down on her mouthpiece and decided to push forward no matter the cost. After checking a kick, she delivered a right hand, then barreled forward with body punches as she pressed Stevens against the cage. There was a bit of a stalemate in the clinch, before Bello dropped down, working for a single leg. Stevens defended, and Raechel switched to a double leg attempt. Heather delivered downward elbow strikes to the temple as she fought off the takedown, but throwing the elbows also left her off balance, and she got brought to the mat. She managed to wall walk back up to her feet after a few seconds, and then turned Raechel against the cage. Heather delivered a decent knee to the body, and a couple of foot stomps before they got broken up. Stevens was getting an edge in the distance striking for the rest of the round, until she got caught with a short right behind the ear and was wobbled. She started backpedaling, and Raechel Lynne looked to finish off her hurt opponent, but the round ended at just that moment.

#8 Heather Stevens (3-2-1) def #13 Raechel Lynne Bello (1-1-0) via Split Decision
The NFA chose not to interview Heather Stevens after the fight, thanks to the crowd's reaction to the unpopular decision and lackluster action. Instead, a promotional spot aired for the Lingerie Football League, and a shot was shown in the crowd after of NFA head honcho Persephone Waters, the owner of the LFL's Boston Black Mambas. She was seen watching the action through what appeared to be a gold plated mini telescope, before we headed back to cageside.
Co-Main Event #9 Ellie Barrera (2-0) vs #10 Nina Stokes (1-0)
Round 1:
Nina Stokes tried to use her quickness to keep it at kickboxing range early on, while Barrera tried to press her against the cage. Stokes was able to spin out and disengage, while delivering a front kick to keep distance. She then shoots for a double leg takedown, and the slightly larger Barrera is able to stuff it with a sprawl while converting into a takedown of her own. She works her way from full guard to half, before methodically making her way to side control. After softening her up with some knees, she's able to step over into full mount. She tries to drop ground and pound with Stokes covering up, and turning away. Barrera fished for an arm triangle, which was defended, but she managed to move to back mount. After securing the body triangle, she worked for the rear naked choke with Stokes working diligently to defend it. Finally, with a little bit left in the round, Nina managed to turn and end up on top in guard. She tried to drop a couple of shots, but time ran out on the round.
Round 2:
Barrera got some minor technical advice on finishing submissions in between rounds, while Stokes was emphatically told not to try any more takedowns, and that she needed to keep this standing while utilizing her movement. After a little bit of standup action, Barrera caught a kick attempt by Stokes. She tried to convert it into a takedown, but Nina was able to punch free while hopping on one leg before escaping free and creating some distance. She continued getting the better of the action on the feet, using volume and combinations, while Ellie was looking for big single shots. Following her corner's advice, Stokes made sure to cut angles after striking so Barrera couldn't tag, or grab hold of her. Finally Ellie got inside, and performed a body lock takedown. She tried to transition it into an immediate back take, but was a little too quick and Stokes shrugged her off while returning to her feet. Barrera kept the pressure on though, clinching her against the fence, and deliver a couple of good elbow strikes inside, then a knee to the body. She performed another body lock takedown late in the round that Stokes again got up from, and looked to hand fight her way free of just as the round ended.
Round 3:
The Barrera corner seemed very confident, while Stokes's told her that Barrera might have stolen that round late, or a judge might have given her a 10-8 first. Either way, she might need a finish this round, and at the very least needed to close the fight strong. After some inconsequential stand up action to start round three, Ellie finally found a home for one of those power punches and rocked Stokes with a left hook. She pressed forward, hurting her again as Nina tried to create space and survive. This time it was with a right hand that dropped her, with Stokes stumbling right back up. Barrera pressed forward for the kill, when she got hurt charging into a nasty switch kick to the body. She doubled over, and shot for a takedown out of desperation, right into an arm-in guillotine! The choke was locked in tight, and Barrera was unable to free herself, needing to tap out!

Stokes admitted after the fight that she was put in some very comprimising situations, but knew how to rise to the occasion when things were looking bad. She pointed out that she subbed a Jiu Jitsu specialist, before taking a bit of umbrage to Ryan Murphey's earlier statement that he could submit anyone in NFA. Saying that she survived everything thrown at her on the ground, she wanted to put that to the test, and if he wanted a top ten opponent next that she was willing to do this.
Main Event NFA WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP #1 Grayson Underwood (5-1-0)v. #3 Gustav Reinhardt (4-1-0)
Round 1:
The fighters touched gloves to start, and it was a feeling out process early on. Grayson Underwood was trying to find his way into boxing range past the much taller man's reach. He was able to weave in and out, working some body shots early in the round. Reinhardt caught him trying to do so one time too many midway through the round with an overhand right, dropping him. He dropped down, looking to finish the fight early with ground and pound, but Underwood was able to neutralize him fairly well, even in his rocked state. After securing half guard, Grayson was able to control the big man's posture for a short while before the Black Forest Behemoth broke free and dropped some heavy bombs which were partially blocked. The round ended with him on top dropping shots.
Round 2:
Reinhardt's corner told him great work, but to remember this was a five round fight and not to go too hard for the kill here in case he didn't get the finish -- he needed to let the finish come to him. Underwood's was mostly just motivational talk to make sure he was still in the fight, knowing that he was probably too stunned right now to follow detailed instructions. To the surprise of many in the crowd, Underwood was able to take Reinhardt down right off the bat to start the round. He drove for a double leg takedown, which was initially stuffed, but managed to use his momentum to drive through and complete the power double as it was started near the center of the cage. He took a little bit to rest and regain his bearings down there before he was told to work, and tried to throw some punches to the body from guard. Reinhardt used a butterfly guard to power him off, and tried to explode back up, but was a bit lumbering in doing so. This let Grayson get him down almost into half-guard for a fleeting moment before Gustav started walking his way up. As he did, Underwood peppered him with short uppercuts and body shots before backing off and returning to the center of the cage. Reinhardt pushed his way forward and they were back to a boxing match with Gustav trying to work the jab, and Grayson using a lot of movement but not opening up too much before the round ended.
Round 3:
The former NFA Champion got told to sprawl and make Underwood pay if he tried for a takedown again, while Underwood was told to keep working the body and that Reinhardt was slowing down. Grayson seemed clearer of head than he was in round two as this frame began, and to be the fresher of the two fighters. While Reinhardt did have some success with the long jab, creating a small cut under the eye of Underwood, the gameplan of attacking the body continued to be successful. With Gustav noticeably labored in his movements, he threw a big overhand right that missed, leaving him off balance for a level change and takedown. Careful to avoid upkicks, Underwood dropped body shots from closed guard, and postured all the way up to land some heavy ones where he could. He took his time from this position, scoring damage until the bell sounded.
Round 4:
Underwood's corner told him more of the same, while Reinhardt's simply tried to encourage him by reminding him he had the heart of a champion, and that he had two more rounds to work with. After he ended up being too slow to the draw on the standup early in the round, Gustav changed things up by trying to work for a bodylock takedown of his own. He was so exhausted by this point that he ended up practically falling over on top of Grayson, who was able to avoid the momentum, ending up on top in half guard. From there, his ground and pound got far more vicious this round as he was smelling blood. He started with body shots, then started dropping big punches and elbows. A big hemotoma started forming above Gustav's right eye, and eventually Underwood managed to step straight from half guard to full mount, a testament to how exhausted Reinhardt was. He started opening up with a flurry of punches, trying to finish it as Gustav was told to fight back. The ref started taking a closer look, but just then the round ended and an extremely confident Underwood made his way back to his corner while Gustav Reinhardt needed to be helped to the stool.
Round 5:
As Grayson got the "one more round, this is what you've worked for" speech, the doctors were examining the hemotoma of the former Champion to see if he could continue. This drew a round of boos from the fans, followed by cheers when the fight was allowed to continue. There was a lot of movement from Underwood, only striking where he had to, staying light on his feet and out of danger in the early portions of the around. Following a wild, exhausted haymaker attempt, Gustav lowered his head in a very sloppy attempt at a power double, realizing his best chance to hit Underwood at this point would be to get on top. Seeing Reinhardt's neck exposed, Grayson looked for a standing guillotine, and then tried to jump and pull guard into the choke to get more leverage behind it. While exhausted, Reinhardt was still powerful enough to keep Underwood held up for a second before falling forward into a thunderous slam! The back of Grayson Underwood's head bounced off the mat, while the air was driven out of him, with the crowd going nuts at the improbable come from behind victory they had just witnessed!
#3 Gustav Reinhardt (5-1) def #1 Grayson Underwood (5-2) via KO (Slam) @ 2:47 Round 5 to win vacant NFA Championship
After he was awarded the Championship Belt, an exhausted Gustav Reinhardt was interviewed. The strange journey to get here was recapped, from losing the title in a very close decision, to it being vacated after Perello's injury and then falling behind, looking down and out here before taking advantage of a tactical error by the younger fighter late in the fight. He was asked to explain where his head was at following all of that, and what his thoughts on the fight were. Reinhardt simply bellowed "I am the Champion! Nobody taking this from me!" before having to catch his breath, then exhaustedly leaving the interview to celebrate.
