In one of the night's entertaining fights, Rolando Dy, son of Philippine boxing legend Rolando Navarette displayed his overall MMA skills as he earns a unanimous decision victory over tough-as-nails Guamanian Kyle "Boom" Reyes. The Guamanian fighter looked to shock Dy's hometown crowd early in the fight with furious ground and pound in the first round and subsequent guillotine choke and arm-bar attempts. The Filipino kept his calm, escaped from the submissions and managed to get back up to his feet and get back at his opponent with clinch knee strikes. In the second round, Reyes landed a left hook that opened up a cut on Dy's right eye side but it didn't seem to bother the Pinoy fighter. As the fight went the distance Dy showed he has the more superior conditioning as he landed a good mix of leg kicks, punches and consistently went for the clinch to throw knees to Reyes' head and body.
