What about Rick Story and his heavy hands winning the day against Gunnar Nelson? “”The Horror” even nearly scored a knockout late in the fight, and proved a lot of people wrong with his win over the formerly undefeated SBG product.

The action in Sweden came thick and fast on the main card, with Mike Wilkinson scoring a brutal first round knockout to get the night going with a bang. Niklas Backstrom got caught with a hard right hand from the Brit in the opening round, and crashed to the canvas out cold.

The knockouts continued on the main card as Ilir Latifi got put away by Jan Blachowicz in round one, the result of a heavy body kick followed by a head kick and some ground punches. Max Holloway continued the trend of first round knockouts by starching Akira Corassani and doing so quite brutally.
