Daryl Hartley vs Josh Brown

In the Co-main event Josh Brown comes out and immediately wins over the crowd. I’ve never seen an entrance like this ever while covering a live MMA event. Brown looks ready to go as he’s throwing money all over the place and dancing and rapping to his walk in music.

Daryl Hartley comes out with what looks like everyone on earth that didn’t have a chair at the event, as he has an entourage larger than the Gracie family.

Round 1

Brown extends his hand to touch gloves and Hartley ignores it and decides throwing a punch to Browns face would be a better idea. Hartley tries to control Brown as he doesn’t want anything to do with his stand up. After a long time of being tied up and failed take down attempts from Hartley the ref restarts the fight. Hartley lands a nice kick to Brown’s body. Not much action in the first round.

Brown stays very active from the bottom and looking for submissions while Hartley tries to free himself up to do some damage from the top. The ref stops the fight after a very brief moment of no activity and starts the fighters from standing. Brown takes advantage of this and starts to throw very nice combinations together and picks apart Hartley on the feet. Hartley charges forward and again takes down Brown.
