Almeida took a unanimous decision from Legacy Fighting Alliance titleholderin their three-round battle at 185 pounds. Scores were 30-27, 29-28 and 29-27. Almeida , who weathered some minor adversity in the first and third rounds, did his best work in the middle stanza. There, the Brazilian kickboxer sprawled into top position, buried elbows into Fernando’s face, climbed to full mount and appeared to be within reach of a finish; Almeida even moved to a mounted reverse triangle at point.
Szaflarski offered almost nothing of note from an offensive standpoint. Machado connected with kicks to the inside and outside of the Pole’s lead leg, winging hooks and close-range knee strikes.

Borjas tore into him with clean one-twos—his work resulted in two grotesque hematomas, one on the Brazilian’s forehead and another underneath the left eye—and savage left hooks to the body.
