Omari Akhmedov defeated Tim Boetsch via Unanimous Decision

The main event kicked off with a middleweight bout between two very inactive fighters making their comebacks after a long absence from the octagon. A classic striker vs. striker match up, this fight ended up being played entirely on the feet as both the middle weights looked to knock each other with their massive power. Tim who’s now in his last leg of the career was looking for a win where he could walk off into the sunset with his hand raised. But the Russian Wolverine brought the fight to the Barbarian with this diverse striking and broke his nose with a straight right in the second round. A late resurgence by Tim in the third round as he marches down and forced Omarito circle away and adopt a back footwork as he ate some decent shots and leg kicks from Tim. But it was too late as the scorecard was heavily in favour of Omari who did a good job of countering Tim in the final round. With this win, Omari extends his win streak to three while Tim losses his second straight fight.

Blagoy Ivanov defeated Ben Rothwell via Unanimous Decision

Heavyweights Ivanov and Rothwell had multiple things in common coming into this fight. Both lost to Junior Dos Santos and were making return from long lay offs. They both desperately needed a win in their comebacks. Rothwell with his height and reach advantage had this fight in his favour, but he was also susceptible to eating shots due to his slow mobility. Ivanov exploited his own durability and punching power to land some big shots on Rothwell who looked unfazed with these punches and continued to press forward. In the second round they both exchanged leather which was evident on their faces. Rothwell looked rusty in the second round, but he changed things up in the third round by being more active and landing more shots. But the judges did not see it that way and handed Ivanov his first UFC win. Not a big name, but Ivanov gets his hand raised for the first time in the Octagon. With this loss, unfortunately we could not witness the evil laugh of Ben Rothwell.

Dos Santos is now on a three fight win streak and with another big win can challenge for the title belt again. Dos Santos looked his usual self keeping distance and landing shots.

Lewis managed to stay in the fight but was only gunning for haymakers. With his mid section hurt and slow pace Lewis gave way for Santos to land an over hand right that took the fight away from Lewis.
