1. Hassaini vs Maghekha
2. Waleed vs Mandor
Mandor opened with hard calf kicks, forcing Waleed to attempt the takedown which Mandor made him work hard for, before popping back up and wobbling Waleed with effective hooks and elbows. This prompts Waleed to hit another takedown and crack-off some effective strikes of his own to finish the round on top.
Waleed entered the second round more energetic than his opponent who he takes down after escaping a close head kick and guillotine attempt. Mandor tries a few submissions off his back but Waleed maintains good side-control with sporadic knees to the body before Mandor is finally able to scramble back up at the bell.
Mandor looked exhausted going into the final round and failed to check a series of leg kicks, giving Waleed another opportunity for an easy takedown. After a period of inactivity, referee Mark Goddard stands the fighters back up allowing Mandor to attempt an easily-escaped hail-mary anaconda choke. After going all three rounds, Waleed took the judges unanimous decision.
3. Gaber vs Ali
Gaber came forward immediately with overhand rights before dropping Ali with a left. Gaber easily passed guard into full mount, a position to which Ali had no answer. Gaber postured up to unleash powerful ground n’ pound to force the referees intervention early in the first.
4. Khamidov vs Laallam
Laallam came out with his usual forward blitz, putting Khamidov on his back immediately, which initiated an electrifying chain of transitions and scrambles. Khamidov briefly popped up but Lallam took him straight back to the canvas. Again Khamidov got to his feet only to be dragged straight back down. Unable to escape the dominant top-control and relentless ground and pound, Kahmidov tapped to the strikes before the end of the first round.
5. Bron vs Mohamed
Both competitors came out swinging but it was Mohamed’s left hand that was scoring well early. Though Bron was doing well in the clinch he began to blindly walk forward into Mohamed’s back-footed counters several of which staggered him, before the Egyptian unleashed a highlight reel spinning back-elbow knockout to take a sensational victory.
6. Muaiad vs Abubaker
After an opening kickboxing exchange, Abubaker scored the body-lock takedown and passed guard which resulted in a back-take from which he sank-in a body-triangle with a neck crank to contort his opponents spine and force the tap.
7. Mandour vs Dea
A good right hand from Mandour opened his account but he quickly got reversed from his own takedown. Back on the feet, Dea scored a body kick after which he leapt into a standing guillotine to take the tap.
8. Odunjo vs Zouad
A body kick puts Odunjo down immediately but he gets back upright to put his opponent down in return with a well-placed straight left hand. Zouad survives the subsequent ground and pound to reverse position and deploy his own ground strikes. Odunjo briefly got back to his feet only to be knocked-out with a massive left hand.
9. Mulenga vs Tugarev
Mulenga came forward with a flurry of strikes but composed footwork keeps Tugarev out of trouble. Mulenga got a takedown but couldn’t control his opponent. After a lot of clinchwork up against the fence, Tugarev who scores more effectively in the kickboxing and completes a takedown.
Between the rounds, Tugarev’s coach drew the referees attention to bite marks on his fighters chest, for which Mulenga is deducted two points.
Tugarev’s more technical counter striking is the difference in a second round in which the clinch work and scrambles were relatively even. Though Mulenga gets a takedown, it was Tugarev who threatens the most with submission attempts on the ground.
In the final round, Tugarev had the better of the grappling exchanges in a back and forth affair and it was he who took the split decision win from the judges for only the second and final appearance of the scorecards in the entire evening.
10. Pena vs Alaoui
Pena switches stances and edges the striking exchanges in which Alaouis shots were often short, though his right hand scores well later in a very tight and technical round.
Even though Alaoui started the second round with a slightly better bead in the striking it was a big right hand from Pena that knocks him down. He recovered and gets the takedown, only to be outstruck once again after they returned to the standup.
A bloodied Alaoui took his opponent down at the opening of the third, but struggled to take advantage with a strong scramble from Pena whose strikes re-opens the cuts on his opponents face. Powerful elbows in the clinch from Pena exacerbates the problem and with Pena coming forward Alaoui completes one more takedown before the bell. Alaoui takes the split decision nod from the judges.
