Next we take a look at Tye Ruotolo vs Nicky Ryan that ended up differently than we had speculated in Tye implementing a great game plan, positionally shutting Nicky down, and neutralizing the leg lock entries thrown by Ryan in a very impressive performance, that ended with Tye calling out Garry Tonon who was in attendance at the event. We break down the extremely controversial match between Kade Ruotolo and Ethan Crelinsten, that left many wondering about the results. Then talk about the rest of the matches on the card.
