Shakour landing bombs to soften Sandoval up with a minute left Sandoval trying to survive. Shakour can't seem to get under the chin so he sits back and lands cleanly at will. The first round coming to a close and Sandoval pulls a rapid reversal at the bell. The first round dominated by Shakour and Bloody Elbow gives him a 10-9.
Round 2: Shakour opens the second frame with another strong takedown. Sandoval once again looks to create some distance and gives up his back. Unlike the first round Sandoval pulls the reversal quickly and lands in top position. Sandoval puts Shakour into the fence and drops three hard elbows on Shakour. Sandoval grinding his elbow into Shakour's face and eats two more punches. Shakour not trying to get out from the bottom and Sandoval pins down his shoulder and lands three more clean shots. Sandoval comes back to tie things up as Bloody Elbow scores the round 10-9 for Sandoval.
Round 3:
Going into the final frame it's anyones game and Shakour throws a few wild punches before he shoots in for the takedown. Sandoval finally succeeds in stuffing the takedown and overpowers Shakour as he throws him to the ground. Sandoval is in control as he pounds away but Shakour finds an opening and reverses position. Shakour quickly takes the back but just like the first round Sandoval turns into the hold and takes the top position. Sandoval tees off and Shakour is bleeding. Sandoval is pulling away with the fight and dives into Shakour's guard and continues to land shots. Sandoval takes full mount with 20 seconds left and is dropping elbows and punches until the final bell sounds. Sandoval comes back to take the third round as well 10-9. I don't imagine the judges should disagree as I score the fight 29-28 Sandoval.
Judges agree and Joseph Sandoval takes the unanimous decision 29-28.

Davila is flying under the radar and is a decent prospect, anxious to see what he can do.
This show just needs one more name fight to make it a high-end Indy show. Right now it’s probably at Challengers-level, maybe a little less.
Still, I like Shark Fights alot and good to see them getting attention. Voice says the crowd there is massive and deafening. They usually are, which is awesome.

Tempted to say 10-9 Rd1 for Vasquez on account of the armbar and 10-9 Rd2 for Vasquez on account of the sweet left high kick
Tempted to give Rnd 2 to Vasquez
But Hernandez landed takedowns and kept taking his back. How does everybody feel about these 3 min rounds?

Disliked them back when women’s MMA was restricted to them (pre-2008, I think?), still dislike them now.
Much prefer long rounds, as I feel they are more conducive to more technical wrestling and grappling.

I don’t care much for them either. Maybe it’s just the shock that got me.

Jesus, this show feels like a KOTC show. The poster looks like a KOTC poster. The venue looks like the kind of venue KOTC runs. The fighters are basically no names along with a couple random names, like a KOTC show. They are even using the same unlicensed walk out music. Like really. The same exact unlicensed music.

Cisne looks small for the weight class. Add in fighting a grizzled vet who’s not going to get shook up by the situations he finds himself in and it means that Cisne is gonna have to work hard to control the clinch and keep himself in top control, even against a guy as ordinary as Davila. Either he bulks up or drops down if he wants to make noise. Otherwise this is as far as he gets.
I hear you, but he got rocked pretty hard in the 2nd...hard to recover from that...he took lots more punishment before the finally buckled.

If you go and say, “I’m gonna watch Dan Severn fight some fat dude” the best you can hope for is that the fat dude will take a couple hundred dollars from the promoter, eat a german suplex, and get tapped out by a STF in a thrown fight that lasts a couple minutes. You can’t go in expecting a war or a technical classic. That’s just the way it is.
For who these guys were, this is probably the best you could reasonably hope for.
Despite being gassed they both kept fighting all the way to final bell and hit each other with some nasty shots. I think the Greek has it.
you're right

She dropped back looking for the leg rather than stand did Damm. The problem is that when she did it, she didn’t figure four the limb or even just get the basic extension she needed to prevent LaRosa from stacking and countering. Instead, Tara set up a heel hook properly and won. Not a surprising win, but still a nice scalp.
