Kattar vs. Ige ( MMA Analyse score this fight 49-47 for Kattar )

Good stand up fight with great exchanges and counters. Overall Kattar was better man that night. After win first round with in which we saw some ground game Calvin successfully managed hard period from round two and three (Dan managed to counter Kattar in round two and most period of third) and dominate over Ige in the rest of fight who lose his focus and couldn't confront with Kattar any more.

Elliott vs. Benoit ( MMA Analyse score this fight 29-28 for Elliott )

Difficult match for judging. Third round for Benoit because he took advantage of heavy shots he landed on opponent which caused Elliott's almost exhaustion and he continue pushing forward and take this round. Second goes for Elliott because he landed some good shoots, pushing forward, control distance and mix his game with leg kicks, while Ryan take him down and try submit him, but Tim try submit him too and take that to throw some devastating elbows on the end of round. Finally maybe key think - round one could easily go on both sides but Elliott maybe stole this by constantly going forward mix his striking attacks and pushing Ryan on the fence.

Rivera vs. Stamann ( MMA Analyse score this fight 30-27 for Rivera )

Rivera gave us performance where he had control most time, know how to react on Stamann's big punches, and keep him away from distance with good number of low kicks. He also managed two takedowns. Stamann look like he didn't have a solution for Jimmie movement, couldn't find own rhythm and only succeeded to perform takedown from what Rivera stand up fast and Cody lost his advantage. He also had a small advantage in the clinch on the fence in one period.

Santos vs. McCann ( MMA Analyse score this fight 30-27 for Santos )

With good control, keeping distance, couple of takedowns Santos achieve this win maybe easier than she expect. McCann couldn't tuck Santos in the longer exchange in stand where she be the one who dictate the tempo and make more damage, what Santos eventually take advantage of and take her opponent down where she had excellent control and with good striking on the McCann's body provide herself a win.

Lazzez vs. Alhassan ( MMA Analyse score this fight 30-27 for Lazzez )

It was very good and interesting fight who Lazzez won because he can establish his rhythm through the most part of fight. After first two minutes of Alhassan's domination with big amount of strong punches he hit to opponent, Lazzez with body kicks and low kicks found his distance and with takedown in the end complete round in his favor. Rest of fight give as strong a focusing Lazzez who easily achieve second round with more precise striking and two takedowns, while in the third was pretty close fight with a takedown on both sides, but a little worse timing possibly cost Alhassan to complete this round.

On this card also pay attention on flyweight girls Liana Jojua who defeat Diana Belbiţă via armbar, and middleweight bout Khamzat Chimaev vs. John Phillips (Chimaev won with D'Arce choke).
