  • Albert Tumenov def. Matt Dwyer by KO (strikes) Rd 1 (1:03)
  • Pedro Munhoz def. Jerrod Sanders by submission (guillotine choke) Rd 1 (:39)

NOTES:

Albert Tumenov hit Matt Dwyer twice with a head kick just within a few seconds of each other. Dwyer was knocked down on the first one and finished on the second one. SICK!!

Cruickshank vs. Njokuani was a fun display of striking expertise. Assuncao handled Caraway. But there’s been a lot of decisions on this card which makes it feel like it’s going on forever.

MacDonald may have just become a bonafide Canadian superstar.
