Bodog Fight featherweight: Eben Oroz vs. David Love
With the first fight about the begin, this event has a very made-for-TV feel to it. The arena is fairly empty (even EliteXC's debut in Mississippi had more in attendance at this point in the night.) Does Trenton not love MMA or is Bodog Fight flying that far under the MMA radar? Or are there too many MMA promotions right now fighting for not enough fan money and/or fan interest? Or is it just a very late-arriving crowd?

Eben "The Big O" Oroz has a big O painted/tattooed on his chest.
I give the first round to David Love. He had a couple of takedowns and displayed some nice kicking ability, especially kicking effectively to the lower leg of Oroz. There was a nice flurry of action in the middle of the first round in which both fighters attacked each other with kicks.
I give round two to Love as well. Oroz looks much more comfortable on his feet but Love has been able to take him down at will (I counted at least three takedowns by Love in the second round alone). And, Love's standup is quite good as well. Oroz unsuccessfully attempted a triangle choke toward the end of the second round.
Round three is a close one. Love got two takedowns but Oroz appeared to rock Love midway through the round with a punch. Both continued to display excellent kicking ability. I'll give Oroz round three for the knockdown.
Overall, I score this fight 29-28 for Love. It was a very entertaining fight as are most of the fights in this weight class across various promotions.
Official result: David Love wins a split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28).
