The last two semifinal matches are set and ready to go down this episode. First up in the bantam weight division is Johnny Bedford versus John Dodson, both from team Miller. Bedford originally called out Dodson as he had issue with Dodson sharing Team Miller information with his friends on Team Bisping. Bedford planned to use his larger size as an advantage to bully Dodson to the ground, but didn't anticipate Dodson's take down defense and the power in his hands to be an issue.
The show picks up right where we left off at the aftermath of the Akira Corassani defeat of Dustin Neace. Neace is still bitter about the fight not being stopped in the first round as he secured a deep heel hook submission, and caused Akira to tap. Regardless if Akira's tap was seen or not seen by the referee, Neace should have held the submission until the referee had broken up the fight. Instead, it looked like Neace loosened the hold right after he felt Akira tap, giving Akira an opportunity to escape and continue the fight. Jason Mayhem Miller chalks up the fight as a great learning experience for Neace and the rest of his team to not stop fighting until the referee stops you from fighting.
