How the card was decided

Across the nine bouts that produced a result, seven ended by knockout and two on the judges' scorecards — seven stoppages in nine fights. Every decision was unanimous: not one result divided the judges.

Finishes and fight times

The quickest finish belonged to Zakaria Hamou, who stopped Andrzej Karkula at 1:30 of round one, and four of the seven finishes came inside the opening round. The longest was Amaury Wako's knockout of Maciej Rębacz, 8 minutes and 36 seconds in. End to end, the nine fights filled one hour and 0 minutes of cage time.

Main card against the prelims

The preliminary card out-finished the main card: three of its three results came early, against four of the six above it. Amaury Wako (knockout, round two), Zakaria Hamou (knockout, round one) and Nacim Belhouachi (knockout, round one) all closed before the judges were needed.

Countries, weight classes and broadcast

Four weight classes were used, catchweight most often with three bouts. KSWTV carried all nine bouts, split across a main card and one preliminary block.
