'Super' Prabu, 25, from Selangor defeated challenger Jenarten Radhakrishnan, also from Selangor in the second round of the bantamweight bout.
During the fight, Prabu launched some powerful strikes towards Jenarten, resulting in the latter failing to defend himself, hence forcing the referee to stop the fight.
In the showdown between Keanu Subba and Joshua Khiew, the fight ended with Keanu taking the win via technical knockout (TKO) in the first round.
The 19-year-old scored a takedown through a leg sweep, followed by brutal shots to his opponent thus landing him the victory.

Both siblings, known as the Subba Brothers, are well-known for their aggressive style and wrestling skills.
At the co-main event, the professional bantamweight bout saw Filipino-American fighter Mark ‘Mugen’ Striegl emerging as winner against Australian veteran Kaiwhare ‘Kai’ Kara-France.
Striegl, 26, who fights out of Borneo Tribal Squad obtained the win through a submission via rear naked choke in the first round.
Meanwhile, the most anticipated match - an open weight grudge match between American wrestler Matt Pellino and former UFC veteran Will 'The Kill' Chope, finished with Chope submitting Pellino through a triangle choke.
21-year-old Pellino nicknamed, ‘Liquid Monkey’ who is also known as ‘the voice of MIMMA’ displayed remarkable wrestling skills in the first round by taking down his opponent several times.
However, luck wasn't on his side when the wrestling coach at Klinch MMA, ended up trapped inside Chope's lanky limbs.
