In the co-main event, Caio Borralho and Gadzhi Omargadzhiev faced off in a middleweight contest. Borralho got the better of his opponent in the first two rounds. However, things took an unfortunate turn in the third round as the Brazilian landed an illegal knee on Omargadzhiev.
The fight was halted and Borralho lost a point due to the illegal blow. Due to Omargadzhiev's inability to compete, the fight was called off.

All three judges scored the bout 29-27 in favor of Borralho.
