K.J. Noons def. Conor Heun – Split Decision
Nobody thought that Heun would stand toe-to-toe with Noons, but he did. Heun’s stand-up was decent, but his strong point is his grappling. Later in the first round, Heun got Noons in a locked full mount. As Noons tried to escape, he broke his rib. In the 2nd and 3rd Rd., Heun could not take Noons to the ground, so he was forced to box the boxer. Although, Heun lost to a decision, he has potential to be a great all-around fighter. His base is wrestling, and his jiu-jitsu is taught by Eddie Bravo. He proved tonight that he can stand with a boxer.
