Bosnian-born Danish fighter Damir Hadžović's two-fight win streak came to an end at the hands of the American Christos Giagos, who put on a highly professional display in his unanimous decision victory.

Giagos took the first round courtesy of a takedown and was the more busy fighter as he landed shots and kept working for an opening from the guard.

Giagos brought Damir down to the mat in each round and notched up the goods on the scorecard. Giagos, as expected, clocked in 141 total strikes out of which 67 of them landed. Out of the 13 takedown attempts, Giagos successfully completed a mind-boggling six. The fight, however, was won in the significant strikes department as Giagos had 47 in comparison to Damir's 24.

Damir, though, had his moments as well as he landed a takedown along with 87 strikes in total. Giagos had a better gameplan on the night and executed it with the utmost focus.

Result: Christos Giagos def. Damir Hadžović vi unanimous decision (29-27, 29-27, 29-28)
