Hometown favorite Acoidan Duque capped off the night with a hard-fought split decision win over French veteran Jason Ponet.

Upsets, knockouts, and breakout performances highlight undercard

The co-main event featured a major shocker as Kazakhstan’s Dias Yerengaipov upset former BRAVE CF Bantamweight World Champion Jose “Shorty” Torres in a high-paced flyweight clash. Yerengaipov’s sharp striking and pressure earned him the decision in Torres’ much-anticipated return to the lighter division.

Christian Mach delivered one of the night’s most emphatic finishes, stopping Spanish veteran Enrique Marín in the second round with a head kick followed by vicious ground-and-pound. The TKO win may prove to be a breakout moment in Mach’s career.

Abdelkrim Zoud also made waves with a clinical submission win over Muslim Danaev via D’arce choke. Zoud’s dominant showing highlighted his submission prowess and rising stock within the promotion.
