-[Middleweight bout]: Rupert Psmith (1-0) vs Biggie Shackleton (3-2)


-[Outcome]: Despite securing the first takedown of the fight, Biggie Shackleton was simply no match for Rupert Psmith on the ground. Rupert got taken down but swept and started landing ground and pound on Biggie. In the second round, Rupert locked Biggie in the clinch and stuffed his attempts to bring the fight to the ground. Under the rapid flurry of punches against the cage, Biggie Shackleton wilted resulting in a referee stoppage. Rupert Psmith def. Biggie Shackleton via TKO (Strikes) at 0:40 of round 2.

-[Lightweight bout]: Zeus Jupiter (3-1) vs Dark Hunter (2-0)


-[Outcome]: Holy shit! Dark Hunter came out and put a beating on Zeus Jupiter. Despite getting knocked down twice in a matter of seconds, Zeus was firing back on all cylinders trying to win the fight at all costs. In the clinch, Jupiter tried to tie Hunter up to land a takedown and ended up receiving an even worse beating from there. The total strikes landed are something crazy like 20-3 in favor of Dark Hunter who made a triumphant UPF debut here. Are we looking at a future lightweight star? Dark Hunter def. Zeus Jupiter via KO (Punches) at 4:21 of round 1.


-[Defeat Speech]: After Dark Hunter left the cage declining an interview, Zeus Jupiter hobbled over and said “What a battle... I gave it my all.”


 


-[Lightweight bout]: Chad Mendes (6-3) vs Maurice DeLuc (0-1)


-[Outcome]: Another one sided decimation. Chad Mendes showed his technical superiority as he shut down Maurice DeLuc with his powerful wrestling. Chad landed five takedowns, half a dozen shots on the ground, and controlled Maurice on the ground with absolute ease. Chad Mendes def. Maurice DeLuc via Submission (Armbar) at 1:44 of round 2.


 


-[Heavyweight bout]: Ivan Vanko (8-6) vs Ryan Starner (6-2)


-[Outcome]: Ryan Starner came out super aggressive for this fight and paid for it dearly as Ivan Vanko was able to score takedowns under missed punches. On the ground, the striking of Vanko was relentless which opened multiple facial lacerations on Starner. Ivan Vanko def. Ryan Starner via TKO (Cut) at 4:59 of round 2.


-[Victory Speech]: Ivan Vanko thanked the fans for their support.


 


-[Heavyweight Championship bout]: Tigellinus Satanae(c) (8-0) vs Vinny Ruggiero (6-4)


-[Outcome]: Heavyweight champion Tigellinus Satanae had his hands full when he faced the former RFC heavyweight champion, Vinny Ruggiero. Vinny utilized a clinch-and-release strategy that frankly didn't work for him. He found his best success during the limited time he spent on the ground with the reigning champion. On the ground, Vinny was able to control the champ although he didn't do much damage from that position. This was the first time that a challenger has stolen a round from the heavyweight champion. Despite this, Satanae looked on point as he rocked Ruggiero early in the encounter. While I may not agree that Vinny's Muay Thai is superior, I do believe that Ruggiero may represent one of the greatest threats to the heavyweight champion that we have ever seen. Tigellinus Satanae def. Vinny Ruggiero via Unanimous Decision (49-46, 49-46, 48-47) to retain the heavyweight championship of the world.


-[Victory Speech]: The undefeated heavyweight champion of the world thanked his fans following the fight.
