Returning to the octagon for the main event, we had the #6 ranked UFC Welterweight, Leon ‘Rocky’ Edwards, with his remarkable 18-3 record going up against the equally lethal #14 ranked Belal ‘Remember the Name’ Muhammad, sporting an identical 18-3 record. This was the replacement bout due to the loss of Khamzat Chimaev due to his prolonged COVID-19 issues.

In the co-main, we had a brief, but exciting UFC Light Heavyweight bout which lasted one minute and eleven seconds, between ‘Superman’ Ryan Spann, against Misha Cirkunov.

Prior to that we had a UFC Featherweight contest which only lasted twenty-two seconds, between Dan ‘50K’ Ige and ‘Guv’nor’ Gavin Tucker. Also on the card, we had an exciting prelims opener taking place between up-and-comer Matt ‘Semi the Jedi’ Semelsberger and fight veteran Jason ‘The Vanilla Gorilla’ Witt, which was all over in a mere sixteen seconds.

Overall, this fully intact thirteen-bout card saw four exciting first round finishes, one submission, five exciting KO/TKO, five decisions - two split, and two No Contests - including our Main Event. Rounding things out, bonuses for putting forth POTN efforts went to Matthew Semelsberger, Davey Grant, Ryan Spann & Dan Ige; FOTN honors went to no one this time around. What a night of fights we have to share with you, join us to discuss all the action...
