Allstars own Rafael Kveldstad was pitted against Team Ukraine’s Yaroslav Shulha . Kveldstad went for a takedown early only to get stuck in a guillotine bout countered brilliantly with a Von Flue Choke, forcing his opponent to tap.

Now Kveldstad will rematch Czech Republics Tagir Machmudov in the World Championship finals for a second time. The first time Kveldstad lost a controversial split decision.

• Middleweight: Rafael Kveldstad (Sweden) def. Yaroslav Shulha (Ukraine) via submission (von flue choke), round 1
