Shane Collins stayed perfect in the main event, but a first-round finish and a run of underdog wins reshaped the night for anyone who made picks.
The card at Meta APEX in Las Vegas belonged to the unbeaten. In the featherweight main event, Shane Collins (8-0-0) went the distance and took a decision over Otari Tanzilovi (10-2-0) after three full rounds. Collins didn’t get the finish, but he didn’t need one: the judges gave him the nod at 5:00 of round three, and his record stays spotless. If you had Collins on your card, the pick paid off — just not with the exclamation point some expected.
The loudest moment came fast. In the welterweight bout, Levan Chokheli (15-3-0) needed just 23 seconds to put away Leon Shahbazyan (12-5-0) by KO/TKO in round one. Blink and it was over. That is the kind of result that either makes your night or wrecks it, depending on which name you circled.
The light heavyweight clash delivered another statement. Navajo Stirling (10-0-0) stopped the veteran Ion Cutelaba (20-12-1) in round two at 3:23, keeping his own unbeaten run intact against one of the more experienced names on the card. Experience did not win the night here.
Several favorites by résumé came up short, and that is where a lot of picks went sideways.
Beyond Collins and Stirling, the night had one more finish worth flagging for the prospect-watchers. Bia Mesquita (8-0-0) stayed unbeaten in women’s bantamweight, submitting Melissa Mullins (7-3-0) at 3:16 of round one. Quick, clean, and the safest-looking result on a card full of coin-flips.
The featherweight undercard bout stayed chalky too: Gaston Bolaños (9-5-0) took a decision over Michael Aswell (11-5-0) across three rounds, a straightforward points win for anyone who backed him.
Add it up and the theme is clear: the fighters walking in undefeated walked out that way. Collins, Stirling, and Mesquita all protected their zeros, and Collins did it in the main event spotlight. Meanwhile, the veterans with the longest records — Rosa, Cutelaba, Nascimento — all came up on the wrong side of the result, and Andre Lima’s near-flawless card picked up a rare blemish.
For the prediction game, this was a night that rewarded backing momentum over history. The finishes came early and decisive (Chokheli in 23 seconds, Mesquita by first-round submission, Stirling in the second), while nearly everything on the back half went to the judges.
If your card survived Chokheli’s 23-second blitz and the flyweight upsets, you read this one better than most. If it didn’t, the next slate is a fresh start — line up your picks with friends before the opening bell and see who actually reads the room next time.
