Here are some highlights of the card:

- Max “Power” Nunes (11-0) kept his record perfect with a 1st-round drubbing of Justin Davis. All 11 of the youngster’s wins have come via stoppage…definitely a name to keep an eye on.
- Jack Marshman moved his record to 12-1 with a brutal first-round TKO of Wayne Cole. Another Brit to watch out for.
- Dayman Lake was getting blasted by Jake Heun, but survived and took his opponent’s back, grabbing the RNC victory. Great come-from-behind submission.
- LC Davis earned his 20th career MMA victory and fourth-straight win in a dominating decision over England’s James Saville…where does the KC native go from here?
- British strongman champion Oli Thompson used (what else?) his brute strength to take down, bloody, and TKO Kevin Asplund.
- Former TUF winner Kendall Grove looked great in his bout, busting a three-fight losing streak with a TKO win over the highly-regarded Englishman Danny Mitchell. Mitchell held his own, but in the end, it was a big win for Grove.
- Andre Winner withstood a very game Drew Fickett, who showed up in great shape and attacked relentlessly. It was a close fight, but Winner stood tall at the end. Great bout.
- Bobby Lashley did what he said he planned to do, which was go in, take Matthew Larson down, and submit him. In the process, he pulled off a highlight-reel body-lock slam (see pic below). Solid victory for the former WWE star.

GWC Promoter Robert Beené said, “I couldn’t be prouder of our GWC athletes tonight. They put on such a great show…I can’t wait to see them fight again. What an exciting night.”
