Bodog fight bantamweight: Dan Hawley vs. Blair Tugman

Hawley appears to be quite a character based on his pre-fight intro video and the bizarre mask he is wearing.  He continues his antics at the pre-fight meeting in the middle of the ring.

Tugman is from New Jersey and has a lot of fans in attendance.

Tugman scores a number of takedowns in the first round but Hawley controls the action on the ground, attempting a triangle choke and trying hard for an armbar.  It's a close round that's hard for me to call. I lean toward giving the round to Hawley for his submission attempts.

In the second round, the two fighters scramble to start the round.  Tugman scores more takedowns in this round.  I give this round to Tugman because he controlled the action for most of the round.

In the third round, Tugman scores a few more takedowns and controls the fight while on the ground.  Hawley attempts another triangle choke and another armbar but can't secure either.  Hawley just doesn't do enough in the fight.

I give Tugman the fight by a score of 29-28.  After the fight, Tugman mocks Hawley, mimicking Hawley's pre-fight antics, to the delight of the crowd. 

Official result: Blair Tugman wins by unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 30-27).
