Chris Beal vs. Patrick Williams
Round 1: Both fighters open orthodox. Williams charges in for a fake takedown and later scores an outside leg kick. Beal scores with a right hand as Williams charges in. Williams blitzes again and lands an illegal knee in the process, so referee Herb Dean temporarily halts the action. Another blitz from Williams, this time landing an outside leg kick. The two have a flurry where Beal cracks Williams with a right, Williams retreats. Sneaky uppercut from Williams finds the mark, which gives him a double right after that. Beal is able to score with an underhook to stand and they do. Beal charges down Williams this time and the two trade hooks. Williams catches a body kick from Beal and uses it to plat him on the mat. Beal now working from his full guard, but stands again off of the underhook. Williams throws an uppercut that misses and Beal responds with a missed hook of his own. Both fighters now swinging wildly and missing until Beal scores with a nice right hand a knee.
