WEC and Dream competitor Cole Escovdeo won the TPF bantamweight title by defeating Jeff Bedard via triangle choke. TUF 12 alum Nam Phan was knocked out by Isaac DeJesus in a bout for the TPF featherweight title. Bellator female champion Zoila Frausto appeared, submitting boxerJessica Rakoczy via armbar. Anthony Ruiz scored another impressive victory, defeating UFC veteran Hector Ramirez via split decision.[1]
