Yuya Shirai (75.7kg/166.5 lbs.) vs. Jason High (75.9kg/167 lbs.)

John Alessio (76.0kg/167.2 lbs.) vs. Andre Galvao (76.0kg/167.2 lbs.)
Hideo Tokoro (62.3kg/137 lbs.) vs. Daiki "DJ.taiki" Hata (63.0kg/138.6 lbs.)
Sergei Kharitonov (116.5kg/256.3 lbs.) vs. Jeff Monson (110.0kg/242 lbs.
Riki Fukuda (88.8kg/195.4 lbs.) vs. Murlio "Ninja" Rua (88.0kg/193.6 lbs.)
