Some of the more notable names in tournament on the night were Mohammed El-Mir, Max Baumert and Alex Vogel, but the night’s champion ended up being Chris Baya. The Dutch fighter met Alex Vogel in the tournament fighter after having scored knockouts against Andrii Panov and Max Baumert to get to the final. It didn’t take Baya much time to claim his tournament victory as he knocked out Alex Vogel with a knee to the head in the first round.

In some super fight action Artur Kyshenko wasted little time against Baker Bakarat. He knocked Bakarat down in the first round with a body kick and eventually won the fight when it was stopped in the first round by the doctor due to cuts.

Denis Schneidmiller and William Diender went the distance. In the early rounds the fight was a bit slow, but once the fourth round came around the fireworks started as both fighters really tried to impose their will. In the end Schneidmiller was awarded a decision victory.
