The main event saw a heavyweight battle between Mark Hunt and Frank Mir. The New Zealand-born Hunt dominated the match and had another walk off Knockout when he stunned Mir in the first round itself. The bout took only three minutes to end and it was a right-hand punch from Hunt that did the job perfectly.
