Elsewhere, Nasrat Haqparast and Thibault Gouti received “Fight of the Night” honors and $50,000 apiece for their three-round lightweight battle. Haqparast rocked Gouti repeatedly with heavy punches and a kick to the body, but the Frenchman managed to survive the assault to make it to the final bell. Still, Haqparast’s barrage was enough to earn a unanimous decision on the scorecards.
Finally, South African newcomer Don Madge pocketed the evening’s other $50,000 “Performance of the Night” check for his emphatic finish of Te Edwards in a preliminary lightweight affair. Madge put his foe away with a head kick just 14 seconds into the second stanza for a memorable Octagon debut.
