Main Event:
Quinton Jackson def. Satoshi Ishii via Split Decision (29-28 Jackson, 29-28 Ishii, 30-27 Jackson)- Catchweight
Not much engagement to start the bout. In fact, at one point Rampage turned his back to the Olympian Ishii. Ishii secured a takedown and was able to hold Jackson in place for a large chunk of the first round. Rampage started teeing off to start the second round, but shot in on Ishii and was taken down himself. Jackson made it back to his feet and was content to throw strikes from the clinch with his back against the cage for the remainder of the round. Ishii worked his clinch control on Rampage but it was Jackson who was landing strikes. A botched takedown attempt from Ishii gave Jackson the top position in the third where he controlled for part of the round. Jackson was unable to let his hands go but the judges favored the dirty boxing of Rampage over the control of Ishii.
