Tough loss for Samuel Ericsson

Sweden’s Samuel Ericsson also fought on the card as he took Alexandre Bouderbane in his third fight in the promotion.

The Swede had back-to-back wins in KC and moved up in weight to take on Bouderbane who eventually won the tough and even fight via unanimous decision.
