Jason Tan vs. Dong Hyun Kim Welterweight Fight
Round One: Kim knocks Tan down with a strike early. Tan recovers and goes for a takedown, but Kim uses elbows to reverse and gets on top. He advances to mount and goes to town on Tan. Tan survives the onslaught as the bell sounds.
Round Two: Tan tries to rebound with a kick attempt and a takedown attempt, but Kim remains in control. He reverses the takedown and then takes Tan to the mat. He has more trouble advancing position, however, and only spends a portion of the round in side control. Still, easily a Kim round.
Round Three: Kim uses a hip toss to land Tan on his back. Kim follows up with elbows and puts Tan away.
Dong Hyun Kim won via TKO (strikes) at :25 of Round Three.
Jon Koppenhaver vs. Yoshiyuki Yoshida Welterweight Fight

Yoshiyuki Yoshida won via submission (anaconda choke) at :56 of Round One.
Rich Clementi vs. Terry Etim Lightweight Fight
Round One: After a routine feeling out process, Clementi scores a takedown. He does nothing from the dominant position, however, and referee Yves Lavigne brings things to the feet. Etim then connects with some punches that drop Clementi at one point; both trade as the round closes.
Round Two: After some trading, Clementi shoots for a takedown, and Etim pulls guard in response. Clementi eventually works to side control, but inactivity again results in a stand-up. Etim locks in a guillotine, but Clementi manages to free himself. Inside Etim's guard, Clementi is neutered as the round comes to an end.
Round Three: In a repeat of his earlier takedowns, Clementi brings Etim down but again finds himself doing little from the guard. Back on their feet, Etim lands a knee, but then Clementi responds with a takedown that allows him to ride out the round.
Rich Clementi won via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28)
Rameau Sokoudjou vs. Kazuhiro Nakamura Light Heavyweight Fight
Round One: Sokoudjou works low kicks early on, delivering crushing blows the legs and ribs of his opponent. Nakamura looks for a takedown as the action comes to a stall. Towards the end of the round, Sokoudjou finally turns up the heat, delivering a kick and then pushing forward with a right to the head. Sokoudjou pounces on top with blows, but the round comes to an end.
Nakamura cannot continue, however, and the fight is called in the African Assassin's favor.
Rameau Sokoudjou won after Round One via TKO (strikes).
Ivan Salaverry vs. Rousimar Palhares Middleweight Fight
