Lightweight: Bart Palaszewski (Silverbacks) vs. Harris Sarmiento (Anacondas)
Round one is fairly even with both fighters standing and exchanging punches and kicks. This round is too close to call.
Palaszewski scored two takedowns in round two but didn't do much either time. In fact, the referee stands the two fighters up after the second takedown. I give Palaszewski the round for the two takedowns.
In the third round, Palaszewski scores another takedown and finishes the fight with an anaconda choke, causing Sarmiento to tap out.
Official result: Palaszewski wins by tapout due to a guillotine choke at 1:06 of the third round.
Silverbacks are now up 3-0 and have won the team match, advancing to the IFL team finals. However, the remaining two fights in the match will still be fought.
Celebrity note: Andrei Arlovski is in the arena and draws a nice round of applause.
