Tofiq Musayev defeated Ignacio Bahamondes by unanimous decision (29-28, 29-27, 30-27)
Tofiq Musayev earned a bloody win to close out Saturday’s prelims, battering Dana White’s Contender Series grad Ignacio Bahamondes with ground-and-pound that left him leaking, but it wasn’t without controversy.
Bahamondes came out firing to start the second, hurting Musayev, who grabbed a handful of fence to avoid getting suplexed. From there, Musayev unloaded, busting up Bahamondes and leaving him covered in crimson at the end of the round.
In the third, Musayev put Bahamondes back on the canvas and continued to maul until the final minute of the round, where “La Jaula” briefly worked to the back before slipping off.
This was a wildly entertaining fight, but in addition to the fence-grab, Musayev clearly headbutted Bahamondes in the second as well. There were absolutely tremendous moments from the native of Azerbaijan, however the fouls marred an otherwise captivating clash to wrap up the opening slate. | Main Card Results | Official Scorecards

Ricky Simon and Adrian Yanez fight to a majority draw (29-28, 28-28, 28-28)
Ricky Simon and Adrian Yanez engaged in the kind of competitive back-and-forth battle everyone expected when it was announced, trading big shots for 15 minutes much to the delight of the crowd at Climate Pledge Arena.
In all three rounds, the duo spent the majority of the frame exchanging at range, with Simon mixing in some grappling in the second to change up the tempo of the contest.
Likely deadlocked at one round each heading into the final frame, the two men stood toe-to-toe and got after it, with Yanez unloading on Simon in the final seconds of the fight to seemingly salt things away.
The judges were tasked with determining the victor and when the scores were totalled, the bout was scored a majority draw, with all three officials awarding Simon the first two rounds and two scoring the third 10-8 in favor of Yanez. This was an absolute slobberknocker and while the result didn’t land well with many, it doesn’t take away from how impressive each man looked on Saturday night. | Main Card Results | Official Scorecards
