Mamadaliyev and lands early with the left hand, and follows up with more shots to finish the fight in 30 seconds.
Flyweight : Weronika Cislo vs. Millie Eriksson
Eriksson with takedown in the first round, and showing her dominance. Another takedown in the second round and now landing some ground and pound. Tight heelhook from Cislo, but Eriksson escapes and now rains down punches. More and more and more punches and this is stopped in the second round!
Lightweight: Kevin Dolvik vs. Georgios Daskalakis
Dolvik uses a nice left to rock Daskalakis. Pushing forward some nice kicks from the Danish fighter. The Greek fires back with an overhand right. Daskalakis with a strong flurry with one minute left with punches and knees leading to a breif back-take. Dolvik looking composed as he hunts to land with kicks at range. Daskalakis unable to come out for the second round. Dolvik wins by TKO. The Norwegian apologies for not making weight and his poor performance in his last fight, and talks about Suicide Prevention day.
Bantamweight: Mo Zubair vs. Mateo Lerena
Fighters come out swinging! Zubair ends gets the double-leg takedown and on top, but Lerena with some nice upkicks and eventually gets on top. Zubair can’t get off the bottom and Lerena is landing and landing and the fight is stopped at 4 minutes and 15 seconds of the first frame.
Featherweight: Ali Guliev vs. Jon Furuheim
Furuheim with a huge support area flying Norwegian flags. Guliev lands a good head kick and defending take-downs. Both fighters swiming up close, but no one really landing nyet. Jon tries a leg kick but quickly countered and Wonderboy stubples down to the fence. The Norwegian seems one step slower now in exchanges. High paced fight, and a nice short right from Ali. Jon trying to land an over hand counter, but nothing lands. A spinning fist nearly lands, but the takedown does not look like it will be there for Furuheim. Round 1 to Guliev.
Guliev charging forward and landing, and Jon is getting pushed around the cage. A desperate takedown from the Norwegian, and he is getting hit hard on the ground and up to his feet… and this is almost done. I’d throw in the towel, as he is spent. And there it is, a couple more shots and the referee steps in to stop the bout. Guliev by stoppage in the second round.
Featherweight: Alexander Lööf vs. Stefano Catacoli
The crowd is going nuts for Lööf as he enters the cage, but have been quiet since Catacoli got an early take-down and has taken back. The Swede is calm, and not threatened until a rear-naked choke is locked and he is out. Win for Catacoli.
