Saturday September 3rd, marked the second event held under the Australian Fighting Championship banner. It was an action packed night with a great nine fight card. The most notable fight though, was a middleweight showdown between Hector “Lightning” Lombard (30-2) and the Ultimate Fighter Season 7 slopfest finalist, Jesse “JT Money” Taylor (19-7). Not only was this fight the most notable from the card, but it would also crown a new AFC Middleweight Champion.
