EPIC! Featherweight Grand Prix: Semi Finals

Steve Lawson: And we're back folks! The Semi Finals are set and man do we have some competitive fights set up for the fans tonight Mike!

Mike Calloway: We've just gone through the second round of the tornament and the fighter that I believe took the least damage thus far has been Sasha Marquez, the fighter who took the most? Fred Asahina.

Yojimbo seems to have injured his left knee, you can tell by how cautious he's become with that leg

Steve Lawson: And as an update to the fans, Fred Asahina, WILL be continuing on in the tornament even though he was advised not to. And I can understand why Mike because he's almost there, the belt is just two fights away.

Mike Calloway: Yeah, but the fights wont be gettin any easier from here. And everyone saw how injured Fred Asahina was in that last fight so Peter DeScott will without a doubt be aiming to take that injured knee out as soon as he's given the chance. Descott is a strategist, he watches his opponents and developes gameplans around his opponents, Fred is going to have his hands full dealing with this guy.

A solid low kick from Peter DeScott! For sure, that had to have hurt!

But before we even get to that fight Mike, Sasha Marquez and Sanae Kondo will face off for a spot in the finals!

Steve Lawson: Ladies and Gentlemen he has done it! Fred Asahina has defeated Peter DeScott!

Mike Calloway: I don't know how he did it, but Fred pulled it off. He started off the fight great up until Peter DeScott landed a devistating kick to the knee, then dropped him with a knee and went to work on his hurt leg, I thought this would be the beginning of the end but Fred came back in the last two rounds to win a Unanimous Decision.
