Michael Pixley (Pedigo Submission Fighting) vs Cameron Reed (10th Planet)

Michael Pixley was dominant when he got atop Cameron Reed, and he used his pace to get there almost instantly. Pixley rushed in and passed Reed’s guard several times, starting quickly and then becoming more conservative throughout the match.

He tried several head and arm chokes, but lost his position as soon as he proceeded to set his attacks up.

Reed’s best moment of the match: a gogoplata attempt against Pixley’s bodylock pass attempt.

Jessie Crane (Ares BJJ) vs Alexa Yanes (Rodrigo Pinheiro)

Alexa Yanes went straight to attack on Crane’s legs, toggling between toe holds for most of the first half of the match. As Crane pressured, Yanes got to her most secure attacking position, 50-50, but Crane used that as an opportunity to swing the leg battle in her own favor.

Crane attempted two significant heel hooks, applying immense torque to Yanes’ legs. The second one earned the finish.

Mikey Musumeci (Pedigo Submission Fighting) vs Estevan Martinez (ZR Team)

WNO Bantamweight Title match

Mikey Musumeci kept a consistent cadence of attacks against Estevan Martinez in his first title defense. Musumeci flowed between the arm saddle, the k-guard and back attacks, hunting for armbars, “Mikey locks” and dominant control.

Martinez staved off each of Musumeci’s deep threats, but couldn’t mount any offense of his own.

It’s rare to see Estevan Martinez tired, but Musumeci seemed to wear him to exhaustion.
