Round 1
Grice came out aggressive and threw Black to the canvas. Black then went from a Kimura from his back, but Grice was able to clear his opponent's guard to escape the hold. Near the end of the round, Black again went for a Kimura from the bottom, and had it deep with a closed-guard as times expired. The first frame went to Jason Black.

Round 2
Excellent action in the second stanza. Grice came out and busted Black with a left hand that sent him crashing to the canvas. Grice pounced and blasted away with strikes from the top, nearly finishing the fight. Black then rolled Grice over and slapped on a triangle-choke from the top position, and then returned the favor with vicious punches to the head of Grice. The referee easily could have stepped in but he let the round close with Black teeing off.

Round 3
Grice started the third with a decent punch that backed Black up. Grice then dropped levels for a takedown, but Black immediately jumped to guard with a guillotine choke. Grice escaped and controlled his opponent for the duration of the bout from the top. Black had nothing in the third. The judges see it 29-28 for Black, 29-28 for Grice, and 28-28. The bout is ruled a split draw.

An announcement was then made in the arena that the scores had been miscalculated. Grice was awarded the victory, but scores were not announced.
