Featherweight Bout
Godofredo Pepey (12-3) vs. Clay Guida (32-17)

Welterweight Bout
Alberto Mina (12-0) vs. Adam McDonough (11-1)
The fight was a very exciting one between two men who have finished all of their fights but 1 which saw Mina come out as the aggressor very early on working McDonough with punches and body kicks and soon McDonough was cut and bleeding. The judges were firmly in Mina's favor after the first round. The second round as much different as McDonough secured a takedown early and Mina fought his way into control and managed to lock in an armbar and McDonough quickly submitted.
