Lyle Beerbohm VS. Ray Perales

If anyone was concerned, Lyle “Fancy Pants” Beerbohm indeed has fancy, pink, black, and green pants. He looked like an ‘80s fashion party exploded all over his crotch. Perales was dressed like everyone else tonight.

This welterweight match started in very slow and tense, Beerbohm delivering a few leg strikes that caught Perales off balance. Beerbohm then took the fight to the ground and took half-mount, pressing Perales against the cage and seeking some ground and pound. He landed a few solid hammerfists but eventually changed tactics and took side-control, then changed back to half-mount. Perales kept trying to wriggle out but Beerbohm was intent on keeping Perales down. Round one ended just as Beerbohm managed to posture up and start raining down solid blows.

Round two saw the fight hit the ground almost immediately, Beerbohm again in charge. Perales managed to stand with Beerbohm wrapped around his midsection. Beerhbohm managed to throw Perales to the ground and achieved a solid full mount. And then the blows streamed down on Perales, including a fine one that saw Beerbohm slowly press Perales’s face to the ground and follow up with a solid strike. The round ended after nearly three minutes of brutal punishment that Perales seemed to weather.

Round three started with Beerbohm delivering two deadly high kicks. A third attempt was apparently a decoy to achieve a takedown, which worked. Again, Beerbohm had full control on the ground, entangling his opponent like an octopus with a case of the blood furies. Beerbohm finally landed a perfect guillotine choke that must have been tight: Perales tapped almost instantly.

Ray Perales submitted to Lyle Beerhbohm at 1:19 in round two. The winner thanked his mom for making his shorts.
