Big names from the national scene came to the fore, such as Leo Climent, Salah Eddine (8-0) or the headliner Hecher Sosa (11-1).
The Canarian was making his fourth fight in 2024 (fifth in a calendar year), an unthinkable activity for someone who since he won the FCR title in February was already one call away from entering the UFC.

One of them was Salah Eddine, ‘The Executioner’. This fighter was undefeated, and was facing another warrior of the same rank. In the battle for zero it was the Climent Club fighter who came out with his arm raised after dominate your opponent in the fightGabriel Pasqualotti, during the three rounds. As a prelude to this we had one of the surprises of the night. David Mora fell to Allef Jordelly in the first round, after receiving a hand and blows on the canvas. However, the Alcalaíno did not seem disconnected, so it could have been an early stop.
In international matches, Italian prospect Tiziano Ferranti submitted Andrés Molano with a guillotine, the same result that Rogelio Ferreira achieved over Marco Beltrán. Before this would have come two of the most anticipated fights for the fans, the finals of the reality show ‘The Ultimate Warrior’. The first was the most competitive.
Borja García and Ahmed El Idrissi fought a fight that made everyone present stand up in their seats and that won the fight bonus of the night. Both fell to the canvas due to blows and had their moments of dominance, but little by little, Borja, who started in a worse way, was imposing his rhythm. Finally, the Asturian took the unanimous decision and the flyweight champion belt. In the other final, Stephane Sebisaho submitted Christian Maroñas in the first round, and tied the belt.
