The 21 year old Bohlander didn’t get any favors in his first tournament draw against 330-pound Scott Ferrozzo, but after surviving a series of hellacious throws to the mat, he was able to cut “The Pit Bull” and eventually submit him with a choke at 9:05 of the fight.
6-foot-8 Paul Varelans was expected to roll over newcomer Joe Moreira in their bout, but instead he was forced the ten minute distance before being awarded a unanimous decision victory in a less than scintillating contest.

The only local Puerto Rican fighter on the card, 410-pound Thomas Ramirez, was advertised as being 200-0. Frye made that 200-1 with an eight second knockout that stood until 2009 as the fastest in UFC history.
