Pedro asserted his grappling superiority, landing more shots while Duraev slowed down after multiple takedowns. In the third round, a visibly fatigued Duraev faced a relentless Pedro, who secured a unanimous decision victory.

The calculated effort of Mohammedseifi against David Forster showcased precise striking, with Mohammedseifi targeting Forster's right leg. In a clinic of sheer domination, Mohammedseifi claimed victory by unanimous decision.

Rasul Magomedov's relentless takedowns and striking from guard secured a commanding win, delivering powerful punches from side control. Despite Laid's resilience, Magomedov emerged victorious by technical knockout.

In a shocking turn of events, Nika Kupravishvili dominated favourite Khamzat Maaev, displaying grappling prowess and striking excellence. Kupravishvili's relentless punches secured a second-round finish against the favored opponent.

Ramazan Gitinov's explosive 8-second win over Beknazar Zhanybekov showcased his opponent's ankle injury, resulting in a technical knockout victory.

The highlight of the night came with Eliezer Kubanza's impressive display of power, thwarting every attempt by Adel Ibrahim to strike and grapple.
