RESULT: Kimura R3 KO
JUDGES’ SCORECARD: n/a
MY SCORECARD: n/a
PLAY-BY-PLAY: (via MMA-in-Asia)
Delumeau fights out of Gutsman in Japan, a gym that lives up to its name by basically fighting everybody everywhere. Guy has fought many of the best names in Shooto and recently took Jon Shores to a decision in an incredibly competitive three-rounder. He is an all-rounder. Kimura – as his name hints at – is a Gracie Technics fighter with 5 out of 6 wins by submission – that is until he TKOed his last opponent with punches. Though undefeated, Kimura faces stiff competition in his PXC debut.
Delumeau and Kimura both come out with a surprising stand up game, and it stays there for a whole three rounds. Delumeau lands some bombs, but it’s Kimura who looks much stronger with his striking towards the end of the round, delivering a big right to knock Delumeau for a loop.

Round 1: Strikes immediately start flying as soon as the bell sounds with Askham landing a hard body kick. Askham connects with a solid punch that dazes Sutherland and causes him to fall to the mat. Askham wastes no time pouncing on him but Sutherland is savvy enough to survive the onslaught and regain guard.

Sutherland separates momentarily before getting tagged by a hard hook and a series of vicious knee strikes.

Sutherland working from open guard but he’s too weary of possible submission attempts to be aggressive. Sutherland stands up and kicks away at the legs of Askham before eventually letting him up. Back standing, Askham is the cleaner striker, landing hard with the left hand before clinching up with Sutherland and backing him up to the cage. 10 seconds left, Sutherland is able to push Askham to the canvas before calmly walking way. Very close round.
Round 3: Sutherland looking completely spent but is showing heart by moving forward. Askham closes the distance and ties him up, but he himself is also quite exhausted and is unwilling to commit to a serious attack. They separate and it’s Sutherland who is the more active fighter, moving forward behind his punches. Couple good strikes connect for Askham followed by a head kick that grazes Sutherland. Askham follows up his attack and clinches back up with Sutherland against the fence. Sutherland desperate to separate and finish this fight but Askham won’t allow him to break away even for a moment. 30 second remaining in the fight, Askham uses his last bit of energy and takes Sutherland down hard.

Terry ducks a punch and clings to Burrell’s left leg, then wraps up the right to bring his man to the canvas. Terry scoots Burrell around with ease, passing Burrell’s wide open guard to half-guard on the left. Burrell digs an underhook and gets to his knees, slipping a loose guillotine attempt. Terry drags Burrell back to the ground quickly and hops into full mount, but the natural 170-pounder Burrell simply sits up to escape.

They’re vertical again and Terry is showing the quicker hands, zapping Burrell with one-twos when he steps inside on the larger man. Burrell catches Terry with a counter right and Terry is looking to clinch soon after. A few more Burrell rights find their marks as they resume throwing with just over a minute to go. Terry wants another takedown and gets a single-leg on the fence, where they stay until the final seconds.
Round 3: Burrell is walking straight ahead, going headhunting with power punches. Many are slipping off the gloves and forearms of the backpedaling Terry, but enough are getting through that Burrell keeps coming. Knees, lead uppercuts and jabs are accumulating until 90 seconds in, when Terry stops moving backward and starts whipping out his own jab. A lead uppercut from Burrell seems to stun Terry and Burrell tries to capitalize with a combo and a leaping knee, to no avail. Terry is measuring up shots now, throwing single punches to keep active but not landing much. Burrell has a left head kick blocked and Terry jogs out to his right. Burrell looks spent but his single shots are coming through, sweeping right hooks and big uppercuts. Terry drives on a single-leg with 30 seconds left but quickly abandons it in favor of clinching. Burrell pulls guard on the fence with a last-second guillotine attempt, but it’s not there.
