The event packed some of the best fights in the history of the organization.

RIZE’s big night was starred by nine hair-raising title fights for either the championships or interim belt for the organization. There was a championship match in nearly every level of the organization, beginning with flyweight and bantamweight and moving through featherweight and lightweight to welterweight and middleweight.

Naturally, all eyes were focused on the evening’s main event: Kyle Hammel vs. Austin Tadlock’s contest for the bantamweight title. Austin Tadlock, the new RIZE FC bantamweight champion, won the hard-fought, back-and-forth contest by a split decision.

Brian Batey and David Bell competed in the co-main event. In the second round of the bout, David Bell was able to submit his opponent and win the middleweight championship by demonstrating his superior grappling skills.

RIZE Fighting Championship saw many different finishes to different bouts, putting the spotlight on the versatility of each fighter. The event was marked by TKOs, submissions, unanimous decisions, majority and split decisions, and just about every different way a fight can end. Miriam Nazar knocked out Ludy Alves in the second round to win the Women’s Strawweight Championship title.

Bianca Rosales defeated Gracie Grecco to win the featherweight title. Against Lester Santana, Charels Appolon won the welterweight interim title by majority vote.
