The two wrestlers started the fight with boxing. Blanchfield worked to set up his jabs while Jasudavicius tried to interrupt him with counters. Jasudavicius landed a kick and scored the first takedown of the fight. Blanchfield tried to get to his feet and gave up in the process! There was a brief choke attempt and then Blanchfield began to escape from a body triangle. However, he was never able to break free, resulting in a clear opening round for the Canadian.
Blanchfield pushed forward to start the second, attempting a takedown of his own that went nowhere. Blanchfield landed a nice body kick in the middle of the octagon. Jasudavicious grabbed one leg and jumped on the back a second time. Blanchfield was able to immediately avoid a body triangle and a scramble this time. After a fun series of grappling, Jasudavicius successfully took his back and locked in a body triangle.

Jasudavicius followed his game plan well to pull off a significant upset!

His work to bounce back repeatedly on a slippery frame was top notch stuff and it just earned him the biggest win of his career!
