Lucas is relaxed and takes the punishment well. But Zidar with some nice angles on his kicks and punches. Left hook, right kick. Left hook, right kick the combination of choice till Tenorio has enough and gets a take-down, and as the bell rings gets a rear-naked choke… but no time.

Good right hand from Lucas as Ivan now begins to pressure, and lands some real crisp body shots. The two are letting them go in a nice matchup. A take-down from the Brazilian, but Ivan stays calm and eventually escapes, then unleashes his favorite combination again and again. Ivan gets on top, and now in full guard, but does not want to be there and the fight goes back to the feet. Good knee and kick as the bell ends.
Round 3
Ivan has a bit more energy and still pressing the action. Both fighters looking for an opening. Zidar finds it with body punches. Lucas tries to butt scoop his way to a grappling session, but won’t happen here. Ivan does get on top after Lucas misses some spinning stuff, and avoids a knee bar. A good flurry from the Allstars fighter to wrap this one up.

Hamza Bougamza (1-0) V Darius Buda (2-0) – Co-Main Event
Hamza might have had the longest walk-in in Nordic history with his crew and rappers having a little party on the runway to the cage.
Round 1
Hamza circling and sizing up Buda. A left kick low from Hamza has some snap on it, and he lands another knee on Darius that tries to put pressure on the Swedish standup specialist. Hands are low for the Allstars Training Center fighter.
Buda ties up Hamza and tries to lock on a guillotine and lands a nice knee. Hamza avoids the follow-up take-down and back to the feet. Bougamza lands some nice front kicks. Oh, what a good style matchup. Hamza will have to battle in this one as he balances his aggressive attack with opening to get taken down.
Round 2
Buda is pressing the action and loading up on a overhand right hand. With each low kick, Hamza is open for the take-down. But, it looks like Buda has enough trying to defend. The tide is turning. OH, Wow! The tide turns again! A right hand from Buda lays out Hamza, but he is fighting back. On his back he defends but a few more punches from Darius and it is over by TKO. A stunned crowd and a disappointed Hamza on the mat, knowing it is over.
Result : Buda wins by TKO
