Though ‘Psycho’ Bondar walked into the match as a clear favorite, it was the underdog ‘X’ who started the fight as the aggressor.
Bondar ran up to only to get caught in a combination of right and left hooks. However, he was able to follow it up with a takedown attempt. Despite that, Gordon came out on top and then tried to get ‘Psycho’ with an armbar submission lock.
During this attempt, Malcolm Gordon rolled over Bondar to set up his grip, but this ended up nasty as the elbow of Bondar’s left arm popped out due to all the tension.
