In the main event, in the heavyweight division, Keith "Bad News" Bell (3-2-1) defeated Azunna "Zulu" Anyanwu (4-1) via KO, 12 seconds into round one. Bell threw a left hook followed by a right hand, neither of which did any damage. But then Bell unloaded with a high kick to the head, with his shin smashing into the head and face of Anyanwu. Anyanwu was immediately knocked out as he fell to the mat. It was such a scary knockout that paramedics had to be called to the cage to help Anyanwu. Anyanwu was given an oxygen mask and was placed on a stretcher as the paramedics took great precautionary care of Anyanwu who was moving by this time. In other action, Bellator veteran Jesus Martinez (8-3) defeated Chase Owens (4-4) via KO in round one. Martinez got a takedown with an inside trip. Owens landed an elbow to Martinez's spine and time was called for the foul, but no point was taken away. The ref then stood the fighters up, which is unusual, where they continued to fight. While the fighters were exchanging, Martinez landed a punch that dropped Owens and Martinez followed up with a series of huge right hands on the fallen Owens as the ref stopped the fight. The stoppage earlier in the fight was a weird deal as no explanation was given and the fight just restarted in a different position after the fighters got to their feet. Martinez took full advantage of the set of circumstances as he took Owens out quickly once action resumed.
