In the main event, Luis "Sapo" Santos of Brazil overcame a furious rally at the end of the fight by ONE Middleweight World champion Igor "Lionheart" Svirid of Kazakhstan to win by unanimous decision.</div>
<div style="font-family: franklin-gothic-urw, Arial, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.5; padding: 10px 0px;">
Both fighters started off the bout cautiously in the first two rounds, carefully gauging each other’s range and occasionally unleashing well-placed strikes. Action picked up in the third round when Santos was able to take Svirid to the mat and work on ground-and-pound.</div>

Towards the end of the bout, Svirid had his moments in top control, nearly finishing Santos with a series of powerful blows, but it proved insufficient to earn the judges’ nod.</div>
