The night opened with a light heavyweight battle between Trevin Giles and James Bochnovic.
Giles started the fight with a leg kick, but Bochnovic controlled the cage. Bochnovic began landing strong kicks to the legs and body. Giles later secured a takedown.

Bochnovic was the aggressor to start the second round. Giles later dropped Bochnovic with a punch to the body. He then secured top position. Bochnovic rolled to his stomach and got up, but Giles immediately got him back down. Giles landed hard punches on the ground until the referee stepped in and stopped the fight.
