Bantamweight Bout Chad Sanders (0-0) vs. Sirwan Kakai (12-3)
Round 1: Kakai used his experience to his advantage and dominated the early moments of the bout but Sanders was able to use his Blackzilians training to fight his way back into the bout. Sanders attempts to put Kakai in an armbar but is unable to as the time expires in the first round.
Round 2: Kakai seemed sluggish as the second round began and Sanders used this to his advantage and about 1:02 into the round, Sanders managed to lock in a rear-naked choke forcing Kakai to submit.
The winner of the bout at 1:02 of round 2, by way of rear-naked choke...CHAD "THE CANADIAN CRUSHER" SANDERS!!!!

Bantamweight Bout Chad Sanders (1-0) vs. Steve Garcia (6-0)
Round 1: Sanders flies out of the corner as the referee starts the fight and Garcia is rocked early on but manages to recover and the two fighters are essentially at a stalemate the rest of the round until the horn sounds to end it.
Round 2: Garcia controls the beginning of the round and Sanders looks as though he is going to lose early on but is able to duck and dodge some of Garcia's strikes and secure a takedown. Sanders attempts several submissions but the round is over before he is able to get anything locked in.
Round 3: Sanders and Garcia are pretty even until Garcia opens a cut above Sanders' eye and blood gets in his eye. The referee is going to stop the bout but Sanders assures him that he can see. The fight is back on and Sanders absolutely unloads on Garcia rocking him before knocking him to the mat. The horn sounds ending the round.
The judges have scored the bout 29-28, 28-29, 29-28 for the winner by unanimous decision...CHAD "THE CANADIAN CRUSHER" SANDERS!!

Niiiice, I like it so far, and the real tweet was a nice touch!
I'm a little confused at the last fight though, as it appears one decided Garcia won the fight by the way it was typed in, so how could it be unanimous??
