Tim Elliott vs. Ben Nguyen

Round 1
Nguyen defends an early single-leg attempt from Elliott, who has to get his right mitt up to block a speedy head kick from "Ben 10." Nguyen reverses a head-and-arm throw from Elliott and transitions onto the back of the former title challenger. Elliott stands up with Nguyen still draped across his back, and Nguyen secures the position with a body triangle before locking up a rear-naked choke. Elliott falls to the ground at the base of the fence, trying to free himself from the RNC, but the choke is on tight and he is forced to tap out.

The Official Result
Ben Nguyen def. Tim Elliott via Submission (Rear-Naked Choke) R1 0:49
