This was an impressive way for “The Barbarian” to return to the win column following back to back knockout losses to Dan Henderson and Ed Herman. Those who wagered on him to defeat Samman with his fists cashed out at a nice +500, so congrats are due. 2) Daniel Omielanczuk by Decision (+450) Daniel Omielanczuk survived a rough first round to edge the second and third for a majority decision win against Oleksiy Oliynyik. Being the fresher fighter benefited the Pole in the second and third rounds, as he was able to get top position and edge rounds that way. Omielanczuk backers who took him to win this fight on the judges’ scorecards took home a cool cash prize of +450, so congratulations are in order. 3) Louis Smolka by T/KO (+688) Louis Smolka defeated Ben Nguyen via second round TKO to pick up arguably the most impressive victory of his professional mixed martial arts career.

Alvey is generally known as a knockout artist but he shocked the Sioux Falls crowd with a submission of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt Spicely in the opening stanza. Those who gambled on him to do so paid out at a whopping +1050, so big congratulations to you if you were wise enough to take a crack at that. 5) Cortney Casey by T/KO (+975) Cortney Casey defeated Cristina Stanciu via first round TKO to earn her first UFC victory.
