In the first fight of the event, Matt Dillon, a member of Team Colon battled it out with Mike Crabbe, a member of Team Red Branch.

Crabbe, fighting out of Marseilles, IL said that he feels that he is being overweighed and thinks he should go down to the 125 weight class.

Although most of this fight was on the ground, Dillon gave Crabbe a set of strikes to the ribs.

Dillon's experience includes high school wrestling, MMA training for 2 years and later coached wrestling for 14 years.

In a night of unbelievable fights, Reggie Brown and Flamur Pnishi stole the show with what some have claimed to be the "Fight of the Year" and possibly the best fight that FCE has put on yet...  Both Brown and Pnishi were making their FCE debut as they looked to make a statement in the 135lb division, and they did.  Although an undefeated Brown won with a unanimous decision, it was an all out war. With such a great fight, it was easy to call this WEED ST.
