From the opening bell, Skow was the aggressor with punches and kicks to Bird's head and body, never letting up and never backing up.

Tonight Skow proved to be too strong and too aggressive with Referee Carlton Duncan issuing standing 8-counts to Bird in both the second and third rounds. Jason Skow won a unanimous decision with all three judges scoring the fight 30-25.

In what was the closest war of the night, both Warren and Chicon started strong with both fighters refusing to give any ground. Chicon began with a series of sidekicks to the body and Warren answered with round kicks to the head. Both fighters made their required 6 kicks minimum per round and then some in the opening seconds of the first round. From that point on it was feet and fists for the rest of the fight. The second and third rounds were much like the first where the fighters exchanged a series of right hands to the head and body with neither fighter backing up. The fight ended up in a split decision with Chris Chicon announced the winner. The judges scored the fight 30-27, 27-30 and 28-29.

Two experienced and evenly matched fighters put on a Muay Thai clinic with leg kicks, punches, knees to the body and throws in the feature fight of the night.

7. Main Event
Men's Professional K-1 Light Middleweight
Pete Peterson, Carroll, IA, USA (6-2, 155, 5'9", 38, 05-05-67, 712-792-8178) defeated

Pete Peterson's return from retirement started out tentatively as Mickle began the fight by trying to end it early with a vicious attack to the head and body that appeared to concern Peterson although he weathered the round. Between the rounds Peterson was able to settle down and figure out how to avoid Mickle's onslaught. As the fight progressed during the next four rounds, Peterson got stronger using superior footwork, leg kicks and strong jabs and punches to Mickle's head to keep Mickle off and gradually wear Mickle down. Peterson won the last 4 rounds on 2 judge's cards and 3 of the last four rounds from the third judge. The judges scored the 5 round professional fight 48-47, 50-45 and 49-46.
