The Fight[]
Behemoth raced off and crashed into Weird mAlice and flipped it over into the corner where its flipper couldn't work so couldn't self-right. Pressure also turned Maelstrom over, but the 4th seed was unharmed as it runs either way up. Behemoth got flipped by Pressure onto Maelstrom who flipped the 2006 Winter Tour Champion near the arena wall where it couldn't self-right. Pressure then attacked Maelstrom flipping it on top of Behemoth but it rolled off, and Pressure also flipped Weird mAlice back onto its wheels allowing it to continue fighting again, but Maelstrom flipped them again nearly getting them out the arena. While Major Damage came in to attack Weird mAlice, Behemoth finally managed to self-right and join in the fight with Pressure and Maelstrom. After much flipping and bashing, Behemoth and Pressure got flipped over, Behemoth recovered but Pressure stayed where it was. Meanwhile, Major Damage paraded the hapless Weird mAlice around the arena before placing it on the arena flipper which threw it in the air before getting disposed of by the house robot out of the arena. Pressure finally got back on its wheels again and missed a flip on Behemoth and Maelstrom - who took a hammer blow from Major Damage. Behemoth finished the fight in the last 10 seconds as the strongest flipping Maelstrom against the arena wall and attacking Pressure, but Maelstrom was decided as the winner by the judge.
