- Newton down in round 1 from a chopping right hand to the temple.
- Shortly thereafter, Diaconu corners an obviously overmatched Newton and unleashes a barrage of unanswered punches that force referee Marlon Wright to stop the fight. For unclear reasons, Newton is very upset at the stoppage.
- Newton fought under the name of Matt Hughes.
