The card delivered seven finishes and seven decisions as the fans were treated to quickfire knockouts, slick submissions and knock-down, drag-out wars that went all the way to the scorecards.
Topping the card was the main event between Leon Hill and Yan Blasco, with Hill serving up a stunning finish to close the show.
His head-kick in the opening minute of his headlining matchup sent Blasco to the canvas, where “The Professional” finished the job with a barrage of ground strikes to secure a 53-second knockout victory.
