Sergio Salcido vs. Russ Miura
This was a quick match as Miura controlled the ground and got Salcido in a slick triangle choke.

Lews Jasblonski vs. Illiams Goglia
Goglia threw bombs from the opening bell and landed a couple of hard shots. Jablonski went down and Goglia capitalized by getting an armbar.  Afterwards, Goglia got emotional since he just recovered from cancer and it was his first fight back.
