While Carter owned the experience advantage, Eblen wasted no time, taking Wayman to the ground and controlling the pace of the fight. On the mat, Carter was simply no match for the undefeated prospect. Eblen locked in a deep guillotine choke, forcing Carter to tap and bringing an end to the night's festivities. 

The co-main event didn’t disappoint either, with Nixon and James trading heat in the opening minute of the fight. Nixon then took down James, where he worked for the submission, transitioning from triangle to armbar. To his credit, James defended the positions well, eventually standing back up to pressure Nixon against the cage. 

In Round 2, James hurt Nixon with a solid right hook and followed up the strike with a takedown. From there, James worked for an armbar, but Nixon escaped and they again returned to the feet to trade blows until the round's end. 

In the final round, Nixon appeared to be the fresher fighter, moving forward with his jab and clinching to land knees on his opponent. After hitting the mat once more, James looked to have the submission he needed from the bottom as he locked in a triangle, but it was not to be. Nixon escaped and worked from top position, throwing hard shots to close the round and the fight.

In the end, the judges scored the unanimous decision for Nixon.
