Notes:

- The veteran of the Light Heavyweight tournament, Gian Villante outlasted his opponents to win the tournament. He actually spent less time in the cage than the standard 15 minute you would for a whole fight, stopping his 3 opponents in the first round in all 3 fights. His last fight pre-tournament was actually the first LHW winner in Fabio Maldonado, and Villante said he'd like to run that back in his next fight.
- Khonry Gracie was another winner who finished all his opponents to win the tournament. His famed submission skills shone thru as he submitted all 3 opponents with different methods. He is now riding a 7 fight win streak, with 5 of those coming by submission.
