Lauzon Chiesa. Joe was smaller fighter which was quite surprising. First round was not beautiful but effective amazing back mount defence from both. Chiesa got Joe down in the first round and landed on his back. Joe initially defended the hooks by blocking the first leg he tried to swing around by lifting his hips and legs in the air and grabbing it with his hand also squeezing his knee and elbow together. When Chiesa eventually got his first hook in Joe defended the second by first walking his foot over it and then sliding his butt out after it where he was able to over into half guard top position.
Chiesa escaped a stretched out back mount by waiting for Joe to strike. this enabled him to get his butt up and turn his back towards the fence. He then fought Joe's arms and used a kind of cross face cover to slow him down.but it was actually Joe who gave up his hooks to allow Chiesa to escape.
In the second round Joe managed to come in a flurry and get a single Thai hold and dirty boxed and kneed for the stoppage due to a huge cut. His plan was "stay out side, get him to come forward and then rush in, he's so much longer than me for to want to deal with his length anymore than I had to.
Mitrione KO'd Lewis with a lead right (from south paw) and turning it into a forearm smash after connection. Mainly landed due to Lewis throwing a counter OHR simultaneously without his left guard up.
Rockwell Overeem. Overeem was a real technition landing stomp wing chun kicks to Rockwell's lead knee and switching to southpaw to land right knees to the liver. Rockwell however stuck doggedly to his game plan unphased by the attacks with an air of confidence and persistence. And kept reading Overreem and caught him with a right uc when he telegraphed a takedown attempt. And later landing an OHR while slipping a jab which ended the fight. Rockwell said this is the result of what happens when you believe in yourself. Its something I've been working on on its really just that was me being confident from the last round in my last fight I came alive and that has stayed with me through this training camp, I got in here and I knew who I am, I wasn't worried about what he was going to do I knew what I was going to do and you can see the results.
