Former SHOOTO 154-pound champion from Norway, Joachim Hansen, advanced to December's semi-finals with a lopsided victory over Russian striker Sergei Golyaev. Hansen closed the distance over the lanky Russian early in the fight.

Hansen moved into the mount with ease, but Golyaev slipped through the ropes which prompted referee Yves Lavigne to restart action on the feet. There was some controversy whether MFC rules dictated a standing restart or, like the UFC, a restart that placed fighters in the position in which the action was halted.

The Norwegian looked to Lavigne for guidance, and the ref had a simple answer for him: "This isn't PRIDE."

Moments later, Hansen had the fight back on the canvas. As Golyaev scrambled to get away from the hard-punching Hansen, he lost position. Hansen snaked his arm around Golyaev's neck and finished the bout with a sloppy, yet effective choke at the 3:24 mark.
