Every fight on the televised portion of the undercard went the distance. Unfortunately for fight fans it meant the fighters would not even walk into the ring until well after 12:00AM ET. However, by the start of the main event the arena was nearly filled to capacity and the crowd was eagerly awaiting the start of the main event.
