Two Australasian titles and one New Zealand title went on the line in the nine-bout fight card, much to the delight of a 1000-strong crowd. In one of the features of the night, Dunedin’s Brogan Anderson retained his Australasian XFC professional middleweight title when he made Christchurch’s Cole Davids (Universal Vale Tudo) submit with about three seconds remaining in round one of their 3 x 5-minute scheduled fight. It was a fine win from Anderson (31) as he defended his XFC title for the first time and lived up to his ‘‘Arm collector’’ fight name. He was ready to defend his XFC title when the next opponent was lined up, but his main goal was still to compete in the Ultimate Fighting Championship. In the other title fight, Aaron Tau (3-0) won the vacant XFC New Zealand professional bantamweight title via unanimous decision over Christchurch’s Caleb Lally (6-4).
