Even in such a short match, Hobs was methodical with his squashing of Sean Legacy.

Just like Hobbs versus Legacy, this was a one-sided affair with a bunch of slams from a big guy. Cage was a lot more aggressive than Hobbs though, and the FTW champ destroyed Donati very quickly and very resoundingly.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 3<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Griff Garrison vs Angelico<\/strong><br \/>\n(referee: Paul Turner)<\/p>\n<!-- Content Reveal v2.3.1 -->\n<div class=\"scrhead\" onmouseover=\"document.body.style.cursor='pointer'\" onmouseout=\"document.body.style.cursor='default'\" onclick=\"acr_swap_display('ran_69e751eacd728','0','','')\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-content-reveal\/images\/image1.gif\" class=\"scrimg\" id=\"scrimg_ran_69e751eacd728\" alt=\"Reveal content\" title=\"Reveal content\"\/>');<\/script> Show\/Hide Results\n<\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<div style=\"display: none\" class=\"scrdiv\" id=\"scrdiv_ran_69e751eacd728\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Angelico wins via submission with a combination knee bar and ankle lock<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 5:49<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<\/div>');<\/script>\n<!-- End of Content Reveal -->\n\n<p><strong>Match Thoughts<\/strong><br \/>\nGood match. Angelico is super fun to watch. He toyed with Garrison throughout the match with a series of different holds, but he let Garrison hang around to long at times. Garrison got in some strong offense in small bursts, but Angelico was always quick to go back on the offensive. I love the submissions that Angelico has, and I hope we get to see more and more on Dark and Dynamite.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 4<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Skyler Moore vs Anna Jay<\/strong> w\/ Evil Uno, Stu Grayson, Alex Reynolds, John Silver, Alan Angels, Preston Vance<br \/>\n(referee: Mike Posey)<\/p>\n<!-- Content Reveal v2.3.1 -->\n<div class=\"scrhead\" onmouseover=\"document.body.style.cursor='pointer'\" onmouseout=\"document.body.style.cursor='default'\" onclick=\"acr_swap_display('ran_69e751eacd75a','0','','')\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-content-reveal\/images\/image1.gif\" class=\"scrimg\" id=\"scrimg_ran_69e751eacd75a\" alt=\"Reveal content\" title=\"Reveal content\"\/>');<\/script> Show\/Hide Results\n<\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<div style=\"display: none\" class=\"scrdiv\" id=\"scrdiv_ran_69e751eacd75a\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Anna Jay wins via submission with a rear naked choke<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 3:26<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<\/div>');<\/script>\n<!-- End of Content Reveal -->\n\n<p><strong>Match Thoughts<\/strong><br \/>\nPretty good match. Skyler Moore had most of the offense in this match, but Anna Jay seems to only really need the rear naked choke to turn a match completely around. This was a nice performance from Jay, though I might like to see her not struggle so much to get any sort of substantial offense throughout more of the match.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 5<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Lee Johnson vs Eddie Kingston<\/strong><br \/>\n(referee: Bryce Remsburg)<\/p>\n<!-- Content Reveal v2.3.1 -->\n<div class=\"scrhead\" onmouseover=\"document.body.style.cursor='pointer'\" onmouseout=\"document.body.style.cursor='default'\" onclick=\"acr_swap_display('ran_69e751eacd7a1','0','','')\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-content-reveal\/images\/image1.gif\" class=\"scrimg\" id=\"scrimg_ran_69e751eacd7a1\" alt=\"Reveal content\" title=\"Reveal content\"\/>');<\/script> Show\/Hide Results\n<\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<div style=\"display: none\" class=\"scrdiv\" id=\"scrdiv_ran_69e751eacd7a1\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Eddie Kingston wins via pinfall with a spinning backfist<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 3:18<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<\/div>');<\/script>\n<!-- End of Content Reveal -->\n\n<p><strong>Match Thoughts<\/strong><br \/>\nPretty good match. Kingston had Johnson reeling from a series of hard strikes and slams, and he took his time doing it. Johnson built up to a short comeback, but Kingston was quick to shut Johnson down. This was a fairly easy night for Kingston.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match 6<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Serpentico vs &#8220;The Concrete Rose&#8221; Sonny Kiss<\/strong><br \/>\n(referee: Rick Knox)<\/p>\n<!-- Content Reveal v2.3.1 -->\n<div class=\"scrhead\" onmouseover=\"document.body.style.cursor='pointer'\" onmouseout=\"document.body.style.cursor='default'\" onclick=\"acr_swap_display('ran_69e751eacd7dd','0','','')\">\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cnjradio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/simple-content-reveal\/images\/image1.gif\" class=\"scrimg\" id=\"scrimg_ran_69e751eacd7dd\" alt=\"Reveal content\" title=\"Reveal content\"\/>');<\/script> Show\/Hide Results\n<\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<div style=\"display: none\" class=\"scrdiv\" id=\"scrdiv_ran_69e751eacd7dd\">');<\/script>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Result: Sonny Kiss wins via pinfall with a Molly Go Round<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Time: 4:43<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">document.writeln('<\/div>');<\/script>\n<!-- End of Content Reveal -->\n\n<p><strong>Match Thoughts<\/strong><br \/>\nGood match.

Ben Carter is fast and agile, and he gave Ricky Starks a decent fight. Starks seemed maybe a bit too confident, and that allowed Carter to get in some good offense throughout the match. That offense from Carter allowed Starks to mount a quick comeback of his own though, and Starks looked great as he hastened his way to a fun finish.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Show Impressions<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nThis was a pretty good show.
