In the first televised fight of the night ex-pro boxer Marcus Davis looked to get back on track from his first loss in 12 fights, where he was held down and outworked by Mike Swick. His opponent was local favorite and Wolfslair powerhouse Paul Kelly, undefeated in 8 professional fights. Davis had all the answers on the feet in this one, making expert use of distance to keep Kelly at bay and sting him with the jab. Kelly was unable to chase Davis down and reach a range where he could exploit his power and Tasmanian devil style, with Davis moving away exquisitely to angles on every attempted rush. Without a threat on the feet Davis effectively used his range to pepper Kelly with jabs and kicks to the body and head. In the second round it seemed the American was beginning to find his range even better, when Kelly wisely switched things up and drove through for a double-leg takedown. In a lapse of concentration the Brit failed to notice Davis had his neck and fell prey to a standard guillotine. Kelly will be extremely frustrated by his mistake, but Davis showed his class on the feet and a sharp submission game to outclass his relatively green opponent.
From here:
Kelly – Sharpen up footwork and gain big name experience. Arroyo, Carneiro, Fioravanti, Cummo next.
Davis – Stay fit and health and keep rounding out skills. Apparently he goes onward to fight Chris Lytle for contender status.

Next up was an all out war between two of the UFC’s most reliable performers, Chris Lytle and Paul Taylor. From the offset both fighters showed their kickboxing skills in what appeared at times to be a cloud of fists and feet flying. Taylor was again the epitome of technique, landing crisp jabs, right straights, low kicks and uppercuts. Lytle brought good head movement and a crushing right hand to each exchange. Such exchanges were littered throughout the fight and it was hard at times to tell who had gotten the better, since both fighters showed unbelievable resilience to being hit and tough chins. At the end of each exchange the crafty Lytle would tie Taylor up on the cage, controlling the action and taking a breather to catch up with his cardio machine of an opponent. Taylor showed improving takedown defence and was able to scramble to his feet quickly on the few occasions he hit the mat. The third round stole the show though, starting with Lytle forcing his opponent against the cage with an onslaught of heavy blows which would have put down many fighters. Taylor shook off the punishment and at the end of the round, with Lytle visible gassed, landed a blistering uppercut-left hook combination to hurt Lytle. In the end Taylor ran out of time to finish the fight, but showed serious potential for the future. Lytle took a deserved unanimous decision after controlling the fight with his experience.
From here:
Taylor – Gain experience, round out skills and work on tactics. Gono, Goulet, Hazelett or McCrory next.
Lytle – Keep on improving tactical game to maximise his considerable skills. Marcus Davis or Karo Parisyan next.
