PPV Main Card:

Tai Tuivasa def. Cyril Asker by TKO at 2:18 of round 1: Heavyweights

The standing elbows were all business for “Bam Bam” as Asker ate one after the other in the opening round. Asker never really had a chance to mount much offense of his own because he was too busy trying to survive the onslaught from Tuivasa. Credit to Asker for enduring the punishment, but once he was pushed over and did a faceplant, the referee had to step in.
