Konstantin Erokhin was looking for a quick finish tonight and came out throwing bombs. Those shots he was throwing quickly drained his gas tank, however, and it allowed Viktor Pesta to take control of the fight with his grappling skills.

Pesta was in big trouble in the opening minutes of the fight. Whatever defensive stance he was utilizing left him susceptible to big right bombs from Erokhin. Erokhin had him up against the ropes a couple times but he was not able to finish the fight before he grew tired. Pesta made a comeback in the first and controlled the majority of the second with takedowns.

By the time the third round rolled around, both fighters were exhausted and it was clear to spectators that this would be the second decision of the night.
