Touma with some good strikes early. and with two minutes left just a classic single leg finish, and on top into full mount. Now an armbar on top and rolls for the finnish, but Aziza defends perfectly and is out. Back to the feet. Azizi just charging forward, oh crap a spinning backfist! Azizi is dropped, but gets up like a zombie. Another spinning backfist. Touma is on fire!
Moheb just marching forward. Some success in the grappling from Moheb that is able to get in on the legs. However, half way through the round Jonny starts to take over, getting the takedown and sitting on top in full mount. Perhaps the Pancrase fighter is looking to catch his breath. As the two come up, it is Jonny with an obvious illegal knee to the face. But, Moheb takes it well. And they are back at it after a short break. Big right hand by Jonny, but Moheb just absorbs it like a champ.
Azizi knows he needs a big round is just stalking Jonny here. A flurry and Jonny is on his back and gets away with some kicks from down. BIG shot from Touma, but Mohen again just takes it. Perfectly timed takedown from Touma as Azizi marches forward too aggressively. A triangle and armbar attempt from Touma, but as Azizi gets out it is called an illegal upkick to face of a downed opponent. One point taken away from Touma.
Big knee from the taller Azizi, but Jonny lands another power right and then goes in for a take-down. They are back to the feet as the bell rings, and a solid left kick from Jonny to end the fight.
A unanimous decision goes in favor of Jonny Touma.
Joakim Jankovic (1-0-0), Denmark vs. Robert NystrΓΆm (4-3-0), Sweden β Catchweight (72kg)
The two come out very clam. NystrΓΆm a southpaw looks to land a big left. The two tie up, a body lock by the Dane. Big take-down from Jankovic as he lifts and slams Robert down to the mat. Robert does turn in and gets a take-down for a reversal of his own! Just over a minute left. The two scramble as Joakim escapes, but quickly in on the legs where NystrΓΆm grabs a nasty guillotine. No arm, and it is tight putting Jankovic out unconscious quickly. First round submission for Robert NystrΓΆm at 4:46 in Round 1.
Dilmurod Molvonov (2-0-0), Sweden vs. David Jacobsson (6-2-0), Sweden β Catchweight (74kg)

Molvonov in for a take-down in the second, but David is able to get the fight up to the feet. Now a body lock from the Halmstader and knee to the body. Molvonov is able to get on top, as David eases down to his back. Half way through the second. Jacobsson threatening with a traingle for a bit, but nothing there. Just a kill shot of a right hand from Dilmurod, but the two end up in a scramble and now David on top in full mount landing shots on top. What a round!
The two are in the clinch, and Jacobsson getting in some knees to the body with his corner cheering on. Big punches from Molvonov! David might be rattled here, but Dilmurod goes back into the tie-up. Dilmurod battling for the take-down, but now he falls to his back and David is on top and could be getting the best of this round at the end. Big elbow and now punches for David. Great fight.

Elin Oberg (2-1-0), Sweden vs. Malin Hermansson (5-1-0), Sweden β Catchweight (56kg)
Γberg landing nice variety of kicks early. Malin looking to counterpunch. Elin is quick on her feet, and the Γrebro fighter catches a kick and able to get the fight to the ground. Closed guard for Elin this is just chilling, but waits for the right time to pop up and get the fight back to the feet. Elin punishing that fron left leg, that is now red. A take-down attempt from Malin, that wants the fight on the ground. The “Hermanator” has back and standing with her arms around the waist, and now jumps and takes back and looking for a rear-naked choke. Elin is holding up both of their body weights. Malin squeeeeeezes on the rear-naked choke hoping to get a tap, but they fall to the ground and Elin is out to survive the first round.
A nice job and more leg kicks from Elin to start the second round. Elin lands a left head kick, but as she pulls the leg back, it is Malin that gets on top. Malin has back and now squeezing on a rear-naked choke again. Γberg is able to flop to her back, but there is blood all over coming out of Mailin’s nose, and it is Hermansson’s, which must have come from that solid jab at the beginning of the round. Elin just lets Malin up. Elin just targeting the inside and outside of that front leg. Big right hand for Elin. What a back and forth round.
A HUGE left headkick from Γberg! Elin is now just peppering punches and kick. Malin gets the fight in a clinch, and Malin’s face is just a mess. The Γrebro fighter wills her way to a take-down. Malin on top for a few minutes, and Γberg is able to get out and lands a solid right hand before Malin scores a last second take-down. What a fight!
