In seiner ersten Titelverteidigung, Aaron faced Sergio ‘Surge the Kid‘ Perez (Hayastan MMA), who imposed his will early on the champion with a defiant takedown and constant body control for much of the first round. Once the fight got back to the feet, jedoch, Aaron landed a textbook spinning back kick that stunned Perez enough for the champion to swarm in for the TKO finish.

Todorovich faced a unique challenge in rematching former University of MMA welterweight champion Jarett Conner (unabhängig), who returned to the U after a year-long hiatus. Himself the reigning welterweight king prior to Todorovich wresting the title from him in 2014, Conner demonstrated his trademark strength and unstoppable takedowns with the same adeptness for which he’s known. With his champion’s conviction, Todorovich secured an armbar early, which he kept through an elevated power bomb by Conner. Todorovich shifted position to full mount, leading to a ground-and-pound finish at 1:11. The match was stopped due to injury, when Conner based to his arms and knees, severely dislocating his elbow.
