In the main event, Kan Nakamura took on Sumiya Ito. Nakamura who was on the receiving end of a stoppage against RISE Super Featherweight champion Chan Hyung Lee in his last fight, was looking to bounce back with a win. Trying to learn from his past mistake, he tried pacing himself better - to the point where he seemed timid in the first round. However, it didn't take much in the second round, as the first big combination that he connected sent Ito crashing to the ground. One well-timed left straight later, and Nakamura was awarded the knockout victory.
