#4. Sergey Khandozhko vs. Dwight Grant

This prelim fight was an absolute war. Momentum shifted back and forth multiple times, so much so that it was hard to tell exactly who would be up on the scorecards had this match met the fifteen-minute mark. Khandozhko seemed to be the more technical striker, but Grant proved to be unpredictable and powerful.

'Honda' had to fight through adversity in order to jump back into the win column. He was dropped and hurt very badly, but this didn't deter him from victory. Ever the game fighter, he tucked his chin and engaged in a slugfest.

Grant held his own, but it just wasn't his night. Sharp shots on the inside wobbled 'The Body Snatcher', but he showed championship-level grit. This wouldn't be enough, for a few more subsequent blows caused the referee's intervention. The contest went on to win the 'Fight of the Night' honors.

#3. Charles Jourdain vs. Lando Vannata

Jourdain taking on Vannata was expected to be a display of high-level striking. While this was mostly true for as long as it lasted, there was more variety here than one would've anticipated.

'Groovy' let his opponent know rather quickly that he's willing and able to wrestle, and he scored a takedown. The Canadian was able to get back to his feet quickly after, only to get attacked on the feet. Vannata is as dynamic a striker as the UFC has, but 'Air' Jourdain is no slouch in that department.

Just as 'Groovy' began to find his rhythm, he threw a kick and was countered with a straight punch that knocked him down. Vannata seemed to address the possible guillotine choke on his way up, but he lost focus on the choke for one second, which proved to be dangerous.

Jourdain locked in a one-armed guillotine choke that sunk in deep, even stripping Vannata of his fight shorts in the process. Jourdain is now the second person to finish Lando Vannata. The only other fighter able to do this was Tony Ferguson.
