In the night's main event, Jimmy Manning suffered the first defeat of his professional career at the hands (and elbows) of Dan Dubuque. 

After getting clipped early, Manning fell to the canvas, and Dubuque swarmed, unleashing a barrage of elbows and punches that painted a bloody, vicious scene. While Manning's heart and determination to escape and to advance his position never faltered, the referee had to intervene in Round 1 as Dubuque continued to pour on the offense. 

The TKO victory moved Dubuque to 6-2 as a pro and earned him the Cage Titans pro lightweight title. Manning, meanwhile, falls to 5-1. 

In the night's co-main event, Peter Barrett wasted no time snapping his two-fight losing streak. Taking on Jay Ellis, Barrett got the fight to the ground early and immediately sunk in a rear-naked choke, ending the fight and improving his record to 9-2. 

Elsewhere on the card, Trevor Gudde, Jacobo Apito, and Mitch Raposo all took home gold with decision victories, cementing themselves as prospects to watch as they move forward in their young careers.
