Kassius Ohno vs Keith Lee

Keith Lee not only looked to avenge his friend Matt Riddle tonight but also wanted to start 2019 off on the right track after losing his last match of 2018 to Lars Sullivan.

Lee chased Ohno around the ring at the beginning, then sent Ohno down with a shoulder tackle.

Lee took a chop from Ohno, then brought him to the mat with a cross body. Lee sent Ohno into the ropes, but the Knockout Artist held on and went outside. Lee went for a dive, but Ohno ran away, causing Lee to stop before launching himself over the ropes.

Lee chased Ohno around the ring, and when they met back inside, he caught Ohno's boot, taking him across the ring with a multitude of shots. A back body drop sent Ohno sky high before he crashed into the ring mat like a meteor.

Ohno crawled to the corner and took out Lee's knee when the Limitless One ran in. He followed up with a running boot into the corner and continued to kick Lee's face across the ring. Lee kicked out after a running senton from Ohno.

Ohno locked Lee down in the middle of the ring, but Lee got back to his feet. Ohno caught him clean across the face with a right hand, but Lee stood tall.

Lee held onto the rope, preventing Ohno from Irish whipping him. Ohno cracked him with a few more shots to the jaw, followed up by an elbow strike to the back of the head. Keith Lee kicked out.

Lee fought out of another submission, but Ohno took his knee out again. However, as Ohno went for a second running senton, Lee brought his knees up. Both men got back to their feet and Lee managed to get the upper hand on Ohno, literally, delivering a bevy of shots.

Lee tossed Ohno across the ring and brought him down with a springboard cross body. Ohno kicked out at two. Ohno begged for Lee to stop, but Lee refused. A clubbing forearm brought him down, and a Mongolian chop from Lee stunned Ohno. Lee sent him flying with the Pounce, shocking his opponent.

Ohno fought off Lee, sending him into the referee. As Lee checked on the official, Ohno went low with a shot to the groin, then finished up with the KO.

Results: Kassius Ohno defeated Keith Lee via pinfall.

Matt Riddle came down to the ring and chased Ohno away. Ohno backed up the ramp, gloating over his victory of Lee.
