<h3 data-start="386" data-end="411">Here’s a wild and gritty recap of four action-packed events brought to you by <strong data-start="78" data-end="101">MMA Hype Promotions</strong>, masterminded by <strong data-start="119" data-end="138">James Listerman</strong> and mic-dropped into reality by the ever-stylish <strong data-start="188" data-end="204">Jay Lawrence</strong>. Sponsored by the blood-splattered brilliance of <strong data-start="254" data-end="282">Bloodbath Clothing (BBC)</strong>, the cage saw knockouts, submissions, and scrambles galore across two MMA events and two grappling wars.<br />

<p data-start="749" data-end="897">The <em data-start="753" data-end="773">Fight of the Night</em> went to a back-and-forth chess match between <strong data-start="819" data-end="837">Denzel Rosales</strong> and <strong data-start="842" data-end="857">Kieran Chan</strong>, where Rosales squeaked out a decision.</p>

<p data-start="1330" data-end="1537">When the dust settled, <strong data-start="1353" data-end="1375">Vanderley Ferreira</strong> stood tall with the heavyweight title around his waist and <em data-start="1435" data-end="1453">Sub of the Night</em> honors after an R5 armbar on <strong data-start="1483" data-end="1500">George Wilder</strong>. He didn’t win a war—he <em data-start="1525" data-end="1532">ended</em> one. This was a rematch after a heated exchange between both fighter's managers outside of the cage. <strong>Ferreira</strong> got the final say. Now, <strong>Wilder</strong> must fight to get another title shot and another chance at <strong>Ferreira.</strong></p>
<p data-start="1539" data-end="1647"><strong data-start="1539" data-end="1557">Hector Wallace</strong> delivered the <em data-start="1572" data-end="1589">KO of the Night</em> in 5 seconds flat. The man walked in and threw a grenade.</p>
<p data-start="1649" data-end="1804">The <em data-start="1653" data-end="1673">Fight of the Night</em> was a three-round slugfest between <strong data-start="1709" data-end="1731">Juanito De La Cruz</strong> and <strong data-start="1736" data-end="1752">Walter White</strong>, with De La Cruz pulling off a late TKO in round 3.</p>

Macallan sealed it with a tight guillotine at 12:45 after a scrappy, crowd-popping exchange.
