The main event at Fight For It 7 was a grueling war of attrition, with both Chase Gamble and Garrick James showcasing tenacity and toughness as well as technical finesse for the full 15 minutes. James kept Gamble against the fence for much of the first two rounds, chipping away with foot stomps and knees while applying heavy pressure. But Gamble had his own attacks — including a rare flying triangle attempt — to keep James busy. In round three, Gamble scored key takedowns and delivered heavy knees and elbows to, ultimately, nab the split decision victory. James slides to 4-3, while Gamble moves to 6-5.
