A pivotal light heavyweight contenders’ bout between #5 Thiago Santos and #10 Johnny Walker saw two flamboyant strikers turn into calculated tacticians. Santos' southpaw combinations pressured Walker into kicking from range. Santos landed the harder shots throughout five rounds and it earned him the win on the scorecards. Santos said, "There are a lot of people crying right now... because they know what I went through. I fight every single day to be here. Keep believing in your dreams. Mom, I send you a big hug and kiss."
In the co-main event at middleweight, Kyle Daukaus was employing his wrestling against #14 Kevin Holland when an unfortunate clash of heads hastened the end.
