Greg Hardy vs. Ben Sosoli
Round 1: Sosoli lands with his left hand early. With about 2 minutes left, Hardy starts to land punching combos. Largely uneventful round. The crowd has no use Hardy.
Round 2: Sosoli really only has a left hand. He is not throwing much of anything else. Limited output from both men.
Round 3: The commentary notes that Hardy used his inhaler in between rounds. The commentary is perplexed that Hardy was allowed to use the inhaler. It is difficult to tell if the crowd has turned on this fight or if they just do not care for Hardy. The commentary goes to Marc Ratner, who says that the inhaler was completely illegal. This round playing out muck like the last two. Like all Greg Hardy fights…that was awkward.
Greg Hard def. Ben Sosoli via unanimous decision (29-28 3x)
Yair Rodríguez vs. Jeremy Stephens

Stephens gets to his feet, and lands a takedown of his own. Stephens is on top, but Rodriguez is looking for a triangle. As they stand Stephens is now landing the heavy shots. The round ends. That was an incredibly wild round.
Round 3: Rodriguez offers a fist bump but Stephens refuses. The fight is stopped to warn Rodriguez for a low blow. As the fight resumes Stephens lets his hands go. Rodriguez escapes. Stephens gets the takedown, but it does not amount to much. Stephens gets another takedown. Stephens lands several shots from the side. FUN FIGHT: THEY HUG AFTER THE BELL.
