The main event featured a sensational fight between Benoît Saint Denis, the local favourite, and Renato Moicano, the lightweight rated #11. Moicano demonstrated mastery over striking and control. By the end of the second round, Saint Denis was having a hard time with the constant pressure, and the doctor had decided to end the fight because of the severe punishment Saint Denis had received. Moicano’s TKO victory made it very evident to the lightweight class that he is still competitive and would go after the best fighters.
“I was completely focused, but I could feel the crowd’s enthusiasm. Bathed in the glory of his well-deserved triumph, Moicano declared after the fight, “Saint Denis is a warrior, but tonight, it was my time.”
