У главном догађају, Ryan Sanders (18-9) put the NEF MMA Professional Lightweight Title on the line against Jacob Bohn (7-6). Sanders retained the championship after the cageside doctor stopped the fight due to a cut on Bohn’s head in the second round.
History was made when Рас Хилтон (3-2) и Yorgan De Castro (3-0) faced off to crown the first-ever NEF MMA Professional Cruiserweight Champion in the co-main event. De Castro captured the strap in dramatic fashion with a violent first-round knockout of Hylton.

In the opening fight of the evening, Таилор Тхомпсон (3-0) и Цатие Деннинг (1-1) waged an absolute war that had the entire crowd on its feet to kick off the amateur card. Thompson won a unanimous decision on the judges’ сцорецардс.
Later on in the amateur card, Megan Rosado (0-1) и Глори Ватсон (2-0) battled back and forth in another crowd-pleasing thriller that went the distance. Watson was victorious via split decision in a very close fight.
In the third and final women’s fight of the evening, Цхелсеа Туцкер (1-3) picked up the first win of her amateur career with a late-fight technical knockout of BJ Garceau (1-1).
