Robert Masson lasted just 83 seconds against Lenard Terrance | Al Quintero/Sherdog.com
No glimpses were in sight for the main event, as 290-plus-pound Lenard "L.T." Terrance earned an 83-second stoppage over Robert Masson.
The mountainous Terrance came out stalking, looking to land one big punch from the start. Eventually, Terrance bulled Masson into the cage, as he threw heavy knees but was unable to land clean. After the two were separated for lack of action, Masson indicated to referee Marc-Andre Cote that his pinky finger had been broken, putting an unceremonious halt to the fight just 1:23 in.
However, it was a highly successful night for Team Legion lightweights Yohan Gariepy and Tommy Cote.

Yohan Gariepy started slow but
finished in dominant fashion.
Cote indulged Danny St. Gelais on the feet, as the two spent the first 60 seconds of their bout trading leather. It was Cote with the upper hand, forcing St. Gelais to clinch, but the Victoriaville, Quebec, native countered, stunning St. Gelais with an overhand right.
Undaunted, St. Gelais returned with a jumping knee and a right cross of his own. The first round was toe-to-toe power shots being exchanged until the sound of the horn.
After the first round, the bout appeared to be heading St. Gelais' way. After a vicious kick to the body to start round two, the Team Bergeron product started to pick his shots on the fatiguing Cote. In the third frame, St. Gelais was landing at will until, all of a sudden, it happened: a right hook from out of nowhere floored St. Gelais, and Cote pounced for the finish. Unable to pound out his foe from back mount, Cote grabbed an arm and coaxed the come-from-behind tap 2:41 into the final round.
Neither rubber guard nor flashy kicking offense could help Maxim
Fecteau against Stephane
Pelletier in their bantamweight tilt. Pelletier elbowed through
Fecteau's rubber guard attempts and busted the Joliette, Quebec,
native's face. In the second round, Fecteau came out with crescent
and spinning hook kicks, but a hard right cross from Pelletier put
him on the mat. Though Fecteau survived Pelletier's follow-up, the
ringside physician was summoned shortly afterward and the bloodied
Fecteau was stopped 1:44 into the second stanza.

Tommy Cote pulled off a thrilling
comeback in the third.
Eventually, Breau went old school, digging his fingers into Breau's eyes to slow him down. Despite Trempre being warned for the infraction, Breau finished the job himself. A brutal kick to the ribs dropped Trempe in a heap with no desire to continue at 2:38 of the opening round.
Xtreme Couture Toronto lightweight Albert Cheng ran his record to 2-0 with a unanimous decision win over Taylor Solomon. Cheng utilized his superior takedowns from within the clinch to nullify the stand-up game of his taller opponent. Apart from a late spell in the second round when Solomon took Cheng's back and unloaded punches until the bell, Cheng controlled the bout with a conservative top game en route to earning three 30-27 tallies.
In the opening bout of the evening, bantamweight Maxime Dubois took Eric Daigneault's back and pounded away until he cinched a rear-naked choke, finishing at 3:50 of the first round.
