Ishii comes from the left with a high punch, then goes for the body. Swain blocks, ducks a straight right, then unleashes an enormous kick. Ishii ducks at the last possible moment, avoiding it by a split-second! That was an evil-looking kick, if that had hit it was good night for Ishii, that had 'knock out' written all over it. Ishii will be on the look out for a repeat of that, there is no way she can afford to take a head kick with that much power without taking a defeat. Swain hits a solid left, then a right. Ishii felt both of them, and backs off a little. Swain charges right in to follow up though, and unleashes a powerful right hook, and Ishii took it flush on the chin!

Hoffman checks them, then comes in and clearly wants to trade punches. Lee doesn't seem too bothered by that, and they enter into the first exchange of punches of the round. Difficult to say who came out on top, neither of them did a great deal of damage, most of the shots hit the opponent's gloves.

Lee presses the advantage by following in with a kick, then a right hand. Hoffman clinches. They remain clinched for a while. Hoffman scores with a nice knee, it appeared to catch Lee in the gut. Lee uses a single leg trip and takes the fight to the ground. Lee gets to side control upon impact, and immediately goes for an armbar. Hoffman reacts quickly, but is in real danger.

Lee tries to step over and fully apply it, but Hoffman breaks free and gets her to back off with a couple of up-kicks. Lee steps back and motions for her to stand up. They go back to circling in the center. Hoffman hits a nice right hand, but takes one back too. The time runs down; Lee will probably get that round on points, she hit the best punch of the round, and got the only takedown, plus was the one who was working toward a submission. The round is over. Blurcat.com has it down as 10-9 Lee. Round 2 Hoffman starts fast, unleashing a bomb of a right hand, but Lee avoids it without too much trouble. Hoffman isn't disheartened though, swinging two more huge punches, with Lee getting out the way each time, but being forced all over the place. Hoffman finally backs off a little, breathing hard. That was quite a frantic start. Lee opts to use that, and comes in to throw some jabs. Hoffman is backed up against the cage, covering up. Lee clinches. They struggle, and the fight enters a lull.

Lee tries to step over to mount, but Hoffman keeps her legs in position and ends up almost rolled into a ball. Lee fires some stiff punches to the back, then one to the face. She reaches through and tries to secure an armbar, but has to be careful as she is in danger of getting picked off with a counter armbar too. Hoffman doesn't appear to be trying that though, instead trying to shift her weight so that she can get back up. Lee isn't allowing it though, and gets a couple more punches in before settling back into half guard. Hoffman ties her up in a snug clinch. The action halts, and time expires before Lee can get free. That's the end of the round. Blurcat.com scores 10-9 Lee. Round 3 Hoffman comes inside Lee and hits a body shot, then a right cross. Lee swings with a right hand to counter, but Hoffman ducks it and comes back with a big punch of her own. Lee goes down like a ton of bricks, that punch was right on the money. Hoffman moves in quickly to deliver another two punches before the referee pulls her away. They weren't necessary, Lee was out cold, but Hoffman wasn't doing anything wrong there, she was merely instinctively following up. That was a deadly accurate punch, Hoffman hit that as sweetly as is possible. Hoffman wins via knock out at 0:31 of the third round. Heidi Hoffman retains the WCL Lightweight title.

They clinch, and end up with Tyler backed up against the cage. Lee gets a couple of right hands to the body, but her attempts at knee strikes are deflected by Tyler, who uses her legs well to defend. Lee pulls free and takes a step back, then powers in a right hand. Tyler gets out the way, ducks under a second right hand, and backs up to the center. Lee follows, and we're back to circling. Uninspiring action so far, they've both been fairly devoid of inspiration. Lee hits a couple of right hands, both hitting gloves, then a left hand to the body that connected. That was the best shot of the round so far. Tyler tags her with a flicked jab to the cheek, but it had virtually no power on it. Tyler leans in to a looping left, but it puts her off balance and it's only at the last second that she gets her chin out of the way of a vicious right cross that comes back. If that had hit, we may have had a knock out. Time runs out with them standing, circling again. The 1st round ends. Blurcat.com scores it 10-9 for Lee. Round 2 Two jabs from the left hand of Lee set up a hard waist-high kick, but Tyler steps back to avoid it. Nice attempt though. Lee moves in closer, bobbing and weaving, and looks to score with a looping right hand, but Tyler uses the gloves to parry it away, then counter-strikes with a crisp jab and a kick to the knee. Good opening to the round, both fighters are looking lively. Lee finds herself backed up against the cage briefly, and has to scramble to safety to avoid a flurry of strikes. Tyler is working for position, and is currently looking the more composed of the two. Tyler gets Lee backed up against the cage and throws a flurry of jabs, but doesn't do any real damage. Lee tries to get back to the center, but almost invites the takedown attempt, which promptly comes. Tyler drives her down with a waist-high tackle...but gets caught! The takedown left her head exposed and Lee applied a guillotine on the way down. Tyler is caught, that is on really tight. There's the tap out, Tyler was clearly unable to breathe with a forearm crushing her wind-pipe. Official time of the guillotine choke submission is 2:25 of the second round.
