[MAIN EVENT]
(Heavyweight Division) Idi Ota versus Rusty Hofnaker
Round 1 – Idi Ota clinched immediately but Rusty Hofnaker broke the clinch, only to drive Ota against the cage himself. Ota threw some knees but nothing really seemed to get through. Hofnaker broke the clinch and Ota established it right back, driving Hofnaker back to the cage. Idi Ota started working Rusty Hofnaker over with punches and knees. Not even one minute in, Hofnaker seemed to be tiring already from the shots to his body. Hofnaker was throwing punches, trying to hit anything he could. Ota busted Hofnaker up with short elbows. Hofnaker stopped punching and Ota picked up the pace, sensing a finish. Two minutes in, Hofnaker was taking deep breaths, bleeding profusely, and trying everything to get out of the clinch. Hofnaker landed a short knee and pushed off, circling away... but Ota pushed him back against the cage. Hofnaker goes for another knee, breaks free, and got clinched up again. This time, Ota landed a picture perfect knee right on the button. Ota landed one more and Hofnaker went down. That black belt offered Rusty Hofnaker little protection as Idi Ota pounded him out with his knee digging into Hofnaker's belly. The referee stopped the fight and an elated Idi Ota celebrated with his corner. Idi Ota def. Rusty Hofnaker via TKO (Strikes) at 2:56 of round 1.
[CO-MAIN EVENT]
(Heavyweight Division, Championship bout) Matt Byrne© versus John Jackson
Round 1 – John Jackson tried to improve his standup to meet the heavyweight champion on the feet, but Matt Byrne was eating him up with his counter-striking. Jackson was swinging for the fences but leaving huge openings, which Byrne was happily exploiting. Forty seconds in, Jackson received a decent sized cut under his left eye but he kept pushing forward, trying to make his mark on the fight. A minute in, Byrne clinched with Jackson and hammered him with knees to the body. Jackson was landing some decent shots against the cage, doing much better than he had at a distance, but Byrne was still making him pay for every mistake. Nearly four minutes in, Jackson pulled guard and Byrne controlled him from on top until the round ended.
Round 2 – Jackson landed an early sequence of punches, giving Byrne a nasty cut. This only served to enrage the heavyweight champion; Byrne stuffed a takedown attempt from Jackson and hit him with a beautiful uppercut for his troubles. Sensing that Jackson was tiring, Byrne picked up the pace, busting Jackson up even more. Byrne was targetting that cut. Byrne clinched and the two fighters traded short punches against the cage. Byrne hammered Jackson with elbows right on that bloody mess of a cut. When the two fighters broke away from the clinch, the referee paused the action to take a look at the cut on John Jackson. The ringside doctor called the fight. Matt Byrne def. John Jackson via TKO (Doctor Stoppage) at 3:15 of round 2 to retain the Undisputed BYFC Heavyweight Championship of the World!
