In the main event the LFA Flyweight title was on the line as Los Angeles's (7-1) Cody Davis took on Brazil's (9-1) Igor Siqueira.
Siqueria started off well nearly securing a knee bar in round one and hurting Davis early in round two. Davis would recover and take over from there, taking the fight to the canvas at will, where he would move to mount and score with some stiff hammer fists. Davis would continue to execute the game plan scoring double leg take downs with ease as he moved to full mount, where he rained down punches and elbows nearly ending the fight at the end of round 4. The final round saw Davis do as his trainer Chad George instructed "Finish Him!" Davis grounded Siqueria and began to land punches that forced referee Herb Dean to stop the fight at 3:01 in round 5. Making Cody Davis, now 8-1 the new LFA Flyweight Champion.
