Sunday’s bout was a hard-hitting affair that saw both men attack different body parts throughout the contest, alternating between knees, arms and necks. There wasn’t a ton of flipping or dives, but the high-risk moves that were used worked nicely in concert with a series of submission moves. In the end, it was a Red Arrow to the back and an immediate Rings of Saturn that allowed Neville to retain.
