James Scott's tactic began evident immediately as he shooted in for a takedown and secured it seconds into the fight. Hernando Perra attempted to use his guard to control the movements of Scott, but Scott used his power to "grind" on Perra, doing some damage and forcing him to loosen his guard until Scott was able to get to side mount at the end of the round but was unable to seal any type of deal before the round could end. However, a blow at the end of the round opened up a cut below one of Perra's eyes that his corner couldn't stop the bleeding from...Scott's game plan remained the same, but Perra was able to keep Scott from getting the takedown. A minute into the round, time was called and the doctor came in to evaluate the cut...After some time, the cut was closed and Perra was allowed to continue. Scott attempted to close the distance, but Perra landed a strong uppercut that rocked Scott, but the American still managed to yank Perra to the ground again. Scott once again began to "grind" on Perra in an attempt to wear the Brazilian out, and the round ended with Scott landing blows on Perra's face. Round Three began quick with Perra throwing blows that rocked Scott, but Scott this time took Perra down a minute in, and unlike the first two rounds proceeded to simply hold Perra down at all costs...Perra tried to fight Scott, but the American's power was too much, and he hugged Perra until the round ended...James Scott did just enough to receive the Unanimous Decision over Hernando Perra...
THE MAIN EVENT MATCH ~ RED CORNER - MICHIYOSHI TAKASE [173 cm / 70 kg / Muay Thai / JAPAN] ~VERSUS~ AKASHI "TIGER" NAKAMURA [180 cm / 70 kg / FREE STYLE / JAPAN]
With the title of "signboard" fighter for CONDOR FC hanging in the balance, both fighters came out swinging. Takase landed a jab, but Nakamura came over the top of that with a cross...This seemed to infuriate Takase who unleashed a brutal assault of crosses, hooks, and uppercuts! Nakamura took all the blows on the chin, and kept fighting as blood began to pour out his face from a cut near his eye. However, Nakamura's favor turned as he caught a kick from Takase and took the Muay Thai fighter to the ground! Takase fought to get free, but Nakamura was able to hold on to him until the round ended, giving Nakamura a welcome respite. Round two began with Takase storming across the ring, only to end up in a clinch with Nakamura...Nakamura then lifted Takase and DROVE him headfirst into the mat! Nakamura stayed in guard for a long portion of time, still trying to clear his head from the assault earlier, but gave Takase time to recover...In the closing portions of Round Two, Nakamura suddenly tried for a Can Opener that Uematsu had used earlier...Takase fought and was able to escape as round two ended! Round three began with a vicious uppercut from Takase that opened Nakamura's cut up further forcing the doctor to come in and deal with it...Nakamura was allowed to continue the fight. Takase landed a jab, but again had no answer for Nakamura's driving takedown...However, Takase managed to fight his way out offt he ground and back up! Nakamura fired a low kick, but Takase countered with a one-two to Nakamura's midsection and head that stunned him! Nakamura retreated, but Takase stormed forward with a stream of punches to Nakamura's face, followed by a clinch and a VICIOUS body punch that made Nakamura crumble to the mat! Instead of finishing, Takase showed his youthful inexperience by letting Nakamura stand back up with seconds left in round three...With that, the third and final round finished...However, despite Nakamura's ground control, Takase had down enough damage to earn a unanimous decision!
