Liveblog: AFL Part 2

First up is Rob Weiser of Victor's MMA against Dan Arthur of Renzo Gracie Denville. I don't know anything about these two, so I'm just going to make stuff up - like how Weiser is a bounty hunter and Arthur once shot a man in Reno just to watch him die. Nice, Arthur is coming out to the song from "The Karate Kid". Round 1 has Weiser throwing about 100 1-2 combos and threatening with a kneebar and inverted triangle, but Arthur's superior wrestling has him on top for the most part. Arthur keeps it up in the second round, and eventually snags the textbook armbar. Good showing for the Karate Kid. Next: Rhino Fight Team stud Ken Rivera against TSMMA's Bryan Tapper. Tapper's a member of the new generation of Tiger Schulmann fighter, plucked from the cradle at only a few months old and trained in the combat arts his whole life. Anyway, Rivera comes out strong, firing off leg-kicks and even landing a few jumping side-kicks, while Tapper keeps throwing out his lead hook. Round 2 sees clinching against the cage, Tapper attempting a triangle on the ground and Rivera scoring a knockdown with a flurry. They trade on the feet a little more in the third round, and though Tapper is in it throughout, Rivera is simply quicker with the leather. Rivera takes the unanimous decision.
