Crusher wasn't a hard bet but only 2 people made out:

Round 1
They trade low kicks to start out and Fickett looks rather bothered by them. Kawajiri swarms with hooks to the body, pushing Fickett into the ropes. Fickett hops up and throws on the guillotine. They drop to the floor, but Kawajiri frees his head and from on top in half guard, he begins mashing with short punches. Kawajiri blocking Fickett's attempts at sweeping, staying close on top, biding his time before posturing up to drop big hammerfists and punches. Fickett covers up under the fire, but he's doing little else other than that. Yuji Shimada hovers ever closer, asking if Fickett wants out, but despite him getting mashed on, he gives the ref the thumbs up. The "Crusher" lets up with the crushing long enough to improve position to mount. Fickett puts him back in half guard. Kawajiri thus returns back to grounding-and-pounding, and Fickett covers up and flops to his side. Having let Fickett go through an extended mashing like this moments earlier, Shimada has deemed that he's taken enough punishment and steps in to call it. Fickett does not protest, remaining on the mat, covering his head after the stoppage.
