• Nassourdine Imavov defeated Caio Borralho by unanimous decision in the main event, reinforcing his case as the next middleweight title challenger.
• Benoit Saint‑Denis submitted Mauricio Ruffy in round two, restoring momentum in the lightweight rankings with a grappling-heavy performance.
• Modestas Bukauskas stopped Paul Craig with a buzzer-beating elbow at 5:00 of the first round, after which Craig announced his retirement from MMA.
