A two-sport fight card

Dynamite 1 alternated MMA and kickboxing bouts in one arena, while keeping the rule sets and competition spaces distinct. The tournament gave Davis two wins in one night: he submitted former champion Newton in the semifinal before knocking out Carmont to claim the bracket. McGeary’s title defense and Cavalari’s win for the vacant GLORY light heavyweight belt added championship stakes in each sport.
