LT Nelson vs Tommy Turner: Vacant BYB Middleweight Championship
There was a lot on the line for both men and it showed in the Trigon. Nelson was trying to become a two division champion, while headlining the event as the name that gets read first. Turner wanted to become a world champion, said he would retire if he lost, and was the underdog of the main event. Luckily for us, they fought like that was all on the table even though it only lasted two and a half minutes. Turner tried to overwhelm Nelson but LT was able to keep his composure and land calculated counters, knocking Turner down a couple times before the eventual stoppage halfway through round one. Nelson makes history as the first ever two division champion.
