In a thrilling display of resilience and determination, Yano managed to coax the submission from his opponent, securing the victory.

The card's penultimate match saw Jeff Cobb take on Kazuchika Okada in a singles bout. The two heavy hitters put it all on the line, with Cobb ultimately emerging victorious after 27:41 minutes of intense action.
