#9 Jared Cannonier defeated #5 Jack Hermansson in the night's main event, overcoming some early leg kicks. Cannonier was able to get the surging Hermansson to the ground and finish with ground and pound in the second round.
Ovince Saint Preux has done it again. He gained his fourth Von Flue choke win, with the unranked former title challenger submitting Michal Oleksiejczuk. OSP fought from underneath, getting pummeled for most of the duration of the fight, before locking on his signature submission hold.
