Main Event: Doctor stoppage hands TKO win for Sandhagen
In a pivotal match between top ten bantamweight rankers No. 4 ranked Sandhagen and No. 10 ranked Song, both showed their high level technique and strategy in a competitive first round.
In the second, Sandhagen cut Song's brow with an elbow and he continued to work on it through the fourth with creative offense, getting the doctor's stoppage TKO before the final round began.
After the TKO win, Sandhagen said, "Song's good, I hate that it ended that way, he deserved a fifth round. I won and I'm happy about it.
"I wanted to rob him of his power. The intention wasn't to get the takedown, it was to win the little minutes. That's how you win in MMA, I'm trying to play the sport part of it, too."

Following the win, Rodriguez said, "I know one thing, I'm born for this. I'm a Robo Cop. Chidi is a warrior. I'm grateful to fight against the greatest fighters in this cage. This is my house, I come to stay."
