Among other championship bouts featured on the card, Belgian Tarik Mahillon took on Slovak Samuel Hadzima, battling out for WKN international lightweight title.[9] The bout ended after the first round, when the doctor stopped the contest during the break, due to cut received by Slovak athlete.[10]

Also on the card the Girl Power (Kickboxing) regular competitor Belgian Ashley Gilson was defeated by Russian Valentina Simanikhina, who scored the decision in their three-round women's featherweight bout.[12]

gollark: What do you mean what situation?
gollark: Not letting you do things because of (possible) *emotional* harm to other people is very problematic.
gollark: That seems like kind of a stretch.
gollark: Ethically, I don't think other people have the right to stop someone from deciding what stuff they can do with their own body/life/whatever.
gollark: You can't just tell people to not be "insane" or whatever, and it's their body/life/whatever.
