Tristar fighter Mike Ricci and UK’s Colin Fletcher battle back and forth to start the fight. Both men landed significant punches and kicks that kept the round close.
Round 2 was a round where Ricci pulled ahead quite a bit. He landed a takedown early, landed some great ground and pound. When the fight got to the feet Ricci picked him apart with nice jabs and combinations.
The round started very slow and it looked like Fletcher was picking up the pace, however midway through, Ricci nabbed a nice takedown. He landed some ground and pound, which eventually led to him taking his back. He couldn’t secure any submissions, but the takedown should secure the round and ultimately the fight.
