As expected Eddie Cummings worked through a slew of his enemies. His first opponent was Sergio Hernandez. Hernandez ran into Eddie’s Rear Naked Choke and lost.

Mike Davila was another stand-out of the tournament on the left side of the bracket. This is the heel hook he placed on his first opponent Joao Marinho:
But he ran into Cummings in the semi finals and he ended his journey there:
On the other side of the bracket, Bill “The Grill” Cooper had an excellent showing. His match against Ian Sanders went into overtime where he secured a victory via RNC
Sanders was a stand in for Joe Soto and Danny Prokopos had to cut his journey short due to an injured rib so Gutierrez took his place in the quarter finals.
