At -87.9kg Eoghan O'flanagan defeated Thomas Loubersanes via heel hook off of a throw by pass after Eoghan sits and condeds the -1 point, then as soon as committed passing starts Eoghan grabs the heel hook quick. At -98.9kg Perttu Tepponen beat Samuel Karas, 3-0 on points, using both his wrestling and his guard and countering passing jumping guillotine attempts from Samuel with a back take for his 3 points, then counter wrestling and great sprawls. At +99kg Heikki Jussila defeats Mateusz Juskowiak via ref decision.
For the women at -60kg Peyton Letcher submitted Ashley Bendle off of a super aggressive start and a great Hari Goshi over the hip and a quick back take, then after a reset we see a RNC belly down from the South African. At +60kg Magdalena Loska submitted Slavka Holubjakova off of a really nice transition out of a high guard, and kneebar counter to the belly to back takedown.
