Mazany goes over under and the two trade position against the cage. Mazany peels off and then puts Yanan on her butt with a takedown. Yanan doesn’t need much effort to get to her feet. Mazany drags her down, however, and traps her opponent against the fence, firing off short left hands. As Yanan works up, she takes punches and tries to prevent giving up her back. Mazany holding one wrist and punching with the other hand. Yanan finally powers her way up, and Mazany presses back to the fence. Trip attempt from Mazany, and Yanan is fighting it. With one minute to work, Yanan making Mazany work for everything. Knee to the midsection and warning for grabbing the cage from Goddard to Yanan. Finally, he stops the action after several warnings and walks Yanan to her cornerman to explain she’ll lose a point if she keeps grabbing the cage. Restart and Yanan takes a right hand as she charges in. They trade big shots as the frame ends, and Yanan walks back to her corner clutching her head in apparent pain. MMAjunkie scores the frame 10-9 for Mazany, putting her up 20-18.

Buren seems OK, though a quick takedown attempt implies the damage done by Dy’s punch. Butterfly guard helps Dy get back to his feet after a brief trip to the mat, and Buren is at his back against the cage. Buren scoops him up from a back bear hug and all of a sudden is threatning back control. Dy scrambles and gets back to his feet, running headlong into the cage before pushing Buren back with a punch. Combination nets a nice left from Dy. Both fighters a little more tentative and flat-footed now that first blood has been drawn. Dy trying single kicks and punches, including that jumping front kick.

Cyril Asker vs. Hu Yaozong

Round 1 – A touch of gloves, and Asker closes with a right hand before a shot and easy takedown. Yaozong, sitting against the cage, works on a switch and can’t get it.

Round 2 – Asker catches a right hand counter as the round starts, and Yaozong follows with outside leg kicks. He’s closing now as Asker circles off and then charges. Inside uppercut for Asker before the inevitable takedown and flimsy guillotine attempt from Yaozong. And we’re back in round two, with Yaozong sitting against the fence, taking shots to the head. Asker takes a high guard and thinks of a choke before settling to the back, and there are the punches again. Yaozong has to decide whether to give up full back control or take punishment with one of Asker’s in. He adjusts enough to where Asker can get back control, and he’s in trouble. Asker pounding away and gets Yaozong to give up his back. With a little maneuvering, Asker gets the tap.
