     "Trucker"  |  6-1-0

     .5<-4 Mid 20s Dagi, shredded, 6-0 all KOs incl undef noob for local title and promising regional in ACAYE debut @185. 2.5 years off before ONE debut vs noob wrestler, pushed to ropes immediately, wide base w/ good balance and pressed down opp's head to prevent repeated 1/2-legs, showed power in hands both times ref separated them incl couple hooks late R1 then right head kick for faceplant R1 KO 2ND 205->185 vs smaller sub-specialist GK, couple big punches early and good reversal of body-lock straight to mount but didn't sink hips and got swept, gassed quick, held gilly too long in clinch, TDed and mounted mid R1, survived rest of rnd taking GnP and nearly RNCed late, didn't recover much, TDed easily R2 and mounted quick, some decent punches off back but lacked escape tech besides bridges, ate increasingly hard GnP esp elbows, forced to give back, took small shots then eventually left neck open for RNC SUB, 1st L, 1-1 ONE

     "Hunter"  |  23-10-0

     10+<- -20 Early 30s, strong but short, most of career @170 and carries some fat @185, WW champ for WFCA after DEC and some KOs in long RUS regional career, went 2-3 ACA mostly DEC vs elite comp then moved up to MW w/ DEC W over decent muscular BRZ regional. Constant composed forward pressure, good mix of kicks esp spin to body, content to stay at sparring pace and win from outside but exploded when he felt opp was hurt 2ND 185->170, chin looked bad and KDed easily R1+4 then couldn't get up vs T25 Slipenko, good output on feet esp R2 but not as accurate, got reversal late R3 and enough GnP to take rnd, seemed to pull guard R5 and exploded for sweep, did good dmg from top but couldn't advance, 3-4 ACA 3RD DEC W vs ex-ranked BRZ GK
