The main card kicked off with both the light heavy weights engaging in a chaotic brawl which is undoubtedly ‘The Most Wildest Fight of the Year’. This was Thiago’s first fight in the light heavy weight division and standing on the other side to welcome him was Jimi Manuwa. The Brazilian’s game plan was simple – knock out Jimi as soon as he can to make a statement in this new division. Thiago was aware how Jimi would react in a clinch and quickly baited him in. Jimi Manuwa made the same error he did against Volkan and landed himself in big trouble as Thiago began landing heavy bombs that sent him wobbling. But this time Jimi managed to survive a bit longer but eventually got caught in the wild exchange.
