Daniel Yi def. Brian "Caesar" Salat
In the only semifinal of the 198-pound weight class (after Christopher Sarkis advanced without a fight), Salat, a sophomore from Zahm, began by connecting on a strong left jab to the Sorin freshman Yi's face. Yi retaliated, however, by later landing a right hook to the side of Salat's head. In the second round, both fighters — who shared an upright stance and style — exchanged a number of body shots before Yi took the upper hand. Yi linked together a powerful combination of left jabs and right hooks to end the round. Immediately after the bell rang in the third round, Yi began to aggressively throw punch after punch, landing a couple to Salat's frame. A tired Salat rebounded to force Yi onto the ropes before unleashing a series of right hooks. In what was a very competitive and tight fight, Yi prevailed by split decision.
