Johnny Walker (no. 11) def. Ryan Spann (no. 12) by TKO via strikes (2:43, R1)
This was wild for as long as it lasted. Walker stumbled Spann and "Superman" returned by dropping Walker. It was ultimately a failed takedown attempt from Spann that gave Walker the opening for fight-ending Travis Browne elbows.
SOUND ON --@JohnnyWalker ends it with DEVASTATING ELBOWS!

Mackenzie Dern (no. 15) def. Randa Markos by submission via arm bar (3:44, R1)
Markos made the inexplicable decision to jump into the guard of a dry Dern. The Canadian avoided triangles and armbars long enough to eat big hammerfists from the bottom of mount and then subbed.
SIMPLY UNSTOPPABLE.

Kevin Holland def. Darren Stewart by split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28)
Holland and Stewart threw down. Holland seemed edge things in rounds one and two but it was a one-sided performance for Stewart in the third that nearly took a sure thing from Holland.
CHINS OF GRANITE!
