Elliot Kamaka of West Oahu MMA and Jaymes Schultes of South Oahu MMA competed for the 155 lbs. pankration fight, and Kamaka came out victorious by decision after the second round. During the first round both Kamaka and Schultes dominated on the ground, but in round two, Kamaka managed to get Schultes into a rear-naked submission. Schultes was able to maneuver his way out of the hold, and threw in one last punch just after the end bell sounded. The third fight of the night between Tood Woods of Bulls Pen and freelance fighter Curtis Coole. This was by far the quickest fight of the night. Woods managed to get Coole into a guillotine choke within the first 15 seconds of the round, and Coole tapped almost immediately.
The last fight of the night before Tanugichi called a stop to the event was a 145 lbs. pankration match between Kevin Stevens of Combat 50 and Daniel Joseph of Bulls Pen. In round one, Joseph almost immediately took Stevens down and proved dominant on the mat, but Stevens showed his stand-up skills by delivering a couple hard kicks to Joseph’s left leg. Round two was all Joseph, who not only dished out punch after punch, but also succeeded in the take down that ended in an arm bar in the middle of the round giving Stevens the victory.
Jared Iha of No Remorse and Drake Fujimoto of Relson Gracie Academy were supposed to be the fifth fight of the night.
