Buckley was doing a good job off his back and defending nicely. Still tried to buck him. Mid-way through the round, Buck got to his feet but couldn’t stay there as Storley dragged him back down to work him over with more strikes. In round 2, Storley took him down again and got half guard. Storley is taking this man to school and was just using his skills as well as gameplan. Storley was grinding Buckley down with this short elbows and strikes. Storley got full mount and blasted him with strikes to close out the round. In round 3, Storley once again came out with a takedown attempt. Buckley put up a great fight with his defense and raining down elbows while Storley worked on the takedown. Eventually, Storley got the takedown and just wore him down with his wrestling and strikes. Buckley got to his feet late in the round but was taken down again. The judges gave Storley the decision win.

Opening the main card on Spike TV is Kevin “Baby Slice” Ferguson Jr. vs. Devon Brock in a catchweight bout. In round 1, Baby Slice went for an early takedown but was stuffed.
