3. Eddie Yagin vs. Junior Assuncao (Featherweight bout): Junior Assunção defeated Eddie Yagin via unanimous decision (30-26, 30-26, 30-27).
Assuncao came out very tentatively, staying at range and seeming to wait for perfect opportunities. He landed takedowns and some ground and pound, but not much. Yagin had a hard time closing the distance against the taller Assuncao. When Yagin got top position or a submission Assuncao was able to reverse and escape. By the end of the fight Assuncao was toying with Yagin and battering him. Yagin had nothing to offer.
