Once the prelims got going, there weren't long gaps between the fights and there were enough "movement" of people around the theater to hold our attention. I won't highlight the fights because there are many professional fight results websites, but I will submit the most important fights: Alexander Volkov defeats Brett Rogers by unanimous decision (30-27 X3). Brett Rogers had done all this "wolfing" about how he was gonna whip this Russian fighter and got in the ring and did absolutely nothing besides backing up and throwing a few counters. He received his shares of boos and was just stealing a paycheck. His career should continue to skid.
Thiago Santos defeats Eric Prindle by DQ (groin strike) at 4:54 of Round 1. Thiago was pretty much doing what he wanted to dominate Eric for the majority of the first round by keeping Eric on the ground, but after escaping, Eric delivered an accidental ax kick to Thiago's jewels, which ended the fight. Santos will probably make it to the finals.
