This bout ends in the first round at 4 minute 19 seconds as Francisco Rivera knocks out Delmore.

Nick Ring vs Court McGee
Nick Ring is accompanied to the Octagon by WWE Hall of Famer Bret "Hit Man" Hart. A very hard fought matchup as the Calgary crowd was solidly behind Calgary's own Nick Ring. The bout went 3 rounds and winner by decision was Nick Ring. Just my thoughts here I disagree I saw it the other way, McGhee owned Ring in round 3 this decision in my view is controversial.
PAY-PER-VIEW FIGHTS
Welterweights 170lbs
Matt Riddle vs Chris Clements
Round 1 ends with a lot of mat work and a show of sportsmanship as Riddle allows Clements to get back on his feet and is thanked with a punch to the head. Matthew Riddle gets the victory in round number 3 via a submission with an arm triangle.
Welterweights 170lbs
James Head vs Brian Ebersole
This bout went 3 rounds and winner by split decision was James Head. In my opinion this fight was not very good. The live crowd were very displeased overall as heard on PPV the loud Boos. Ebersole won over at least 1 judge...must have been the thumbs up during round 1.
Heavyweights
Shawn Jordan vs Cheick Kongo
The crowd is very much behind Kongo as round 1 begins. Kongo takes a shot to the groin as the ref stops the fight to admonish Gordon. The fight was never the same after the intentional or un intentional nut shot but the winner by unanimous decision was Cheick Kongo.
Middleweights 185lbs
Tim Boetsch vs Hector Lombard
First round was very uneventful more like a sparring match neither man really got the advantage here. In round 3 your winner by split decision Tim Boetsch.
Bantamweight 135lbs Interim Championship
Renan Barao vs Urijah Faber
First round appears to be a feeling out period for both men, but Barao connected with a few stiff kicks and took the first round in my opinion. In round two Faber with an accidental poke to Barao's eye and after the break Barao connects with some stiff shots that send Faber back into the cage. In round five by unanimous decision and new Interim Bantamweight champion Renan Barao.
The live crowd was not pleased by the end of the night as the PPV ended chants of refund filled the Saddledome.
