In the show opener, Hyde MMA's Jim Ratcliffe registered a draw against James Adderson, who's spent time at the Wolfslair. This was a hard fought bout, and while Ratcliffe took the first round, even mounting Adderson at one point, he lost the second session, meaning the draw was a correct result.

Paul Wadsworth dropped John Nezzi with a right straight quickly in their bout, before following up and finishing with a Rear Naked Choke. Nezzi was a late replacement and had fought the week before on Takedown 2.

Jordan Wilkinson looked extremely slick in his contest with a late replacement from Antonio's Gym. He attempted countless Submissions before sinking in a fight concluding arm bar after just 3:13. As a Semi Pro, he moves to 3-2.

Another Middleweight that may be in title contention soon enough is Ali Arish, who registered a win over Shaun Lomas via decision.

In the second, Arish showed a glimmer of promise that he would utilise something different to his usual Wrestling game with two overhand rights, but apart from that, this was a typical Ali Arish fight, with the Stockport Fighters man working for advantageous positions and doing nothing with them. After fifteen minutes of dull proceedings, Ali registered a unanimous decision, moving to 9-0 (1 NC) in the process.

In the Heavyweight division, Ben Whitehead scored his second consecutive win, with a Submission win over Team Quannum's Markus Grosse. The bout went everywhere and was evenly matched for the short time it was fought, although a footlock in the dying seconds of the first forced Grosse, now 1-2, to tap out, rendering the undefeated Whitehead, 2-0, the winner.

Alex Minogue captured the UCC Middleweight Title on Friday night, beating Andy Evans in an all out war to take the gold.

The first was a tit for tat round, with both of the fighters working extremely hard in the clinch against the cage. Round two started unbelievably quickly, with Evans opening it with hard kicks, only to get caught on the way in and dropped by an Alex Minogue uppercut. From here, the Wolfslair man pushed the pace in Evans' guard, utilising some great ground and pound and taking the session.

The third was a very close round, in which Samurai Jiu Jitsu's Evans nearly sank in fight finishing Rear Naked Chokes and Arm Bars, only for the challenger to escape anything that was put on, and control positioning in general, while continuing to score with ground and pound.

The Champion started round four well, only for the pattern of the session to change towards the end and Minogue to take over. While this was another 50:50 stanza, the timing of Alex's assault probably meant that he was the winner of this. Both were understandably exhausted entering the fifth. Evans was doing very well on his feet to begin with, and having what were probably his best moments of the contest, although Alex was hungry for the belt, and determinedly took proceedings to the floor, where he was doing the better work.

After this incredible back and forth war, the judges rendered the bout a unanimous decision for the Wolfslair's Minogue

he first was fairly tentative, with both looking to find their range and suss out their foe. Devant maybe edged this session with a few effective leg kicks. Round two was similarly close, although in this both started to attempt ambitious spinning strikes, showing that the pair were looking to put on a show for the audience.

Devant started the third well, but towards the end, the Champion really began to stamp his authority onto the fight and was troubling his fellow Mancunian with his hand speed and combination punching. Round four was definitely a Cohoon round, with Devant being hurt a couple of times with accurate flurries courtesy of 'The Boom.'

The fifth was a great concluding stanza to the fight, with both having their moments, albeit Cohoon doing the more damage and finishing the fight frantically. The judges scored it as a split decision for 'The Boom,' taking his record to 6-2. In this, he showed an extra dimension to his game with 25 minutes of crisp, powerful striking, which just goes to show the amount he's improving with every contest. Devant drops to 3-2, but still has exciting things on the horizon, as he'll be main eventing UCC 6 in Leeds when he takes on Caged Steel's Phil Hoban.

The first was Harrop's round, due to his superiority in the Wrestling and ground departments. However, in the second, he was forced to show immense heart with Callaghan landing a huge amount of strikes on him, including a head kick and some violent barrages of hands. The draw was a fair verdict, with both clearly taking a session, and both will take things away from this bout.

Craig Chesters' contest with Billy Glossop was exciting all the way through, and would have been 'fight of the night' on nine out of ten shows (only to be overshadowed by the two title fights on this particular bill).

Hyde MMA's Chesters did very well in the first, staying on top of Glossop and consistently connecting with ground and pound. This was from a variety of different positions, including mount and side control. Round two was a different story, with Glossop dictating where tha action went more. He tried for rear naked chokes with a bodylock on numerous times, but Chesters showed his heart by not caving in to his opponent's relentless attempts and getting out of trouble every time.

Glossop edged the third, with yet more attempts at the Submission which dominated the second, although Chesters came back strongly at some points and manouevered himself into advantageous postions. The judges decided that Glossop was the winner, but it truly was one of those bouts where neither fighter lost morally, because it was such a well matched mano e mano battle. Glossop improves to 2-2, while Chesters' first loss since March 2009 means his record alters to 4-2.
