Storley, 29 years old, was able, in the final round to take Page, 35 down. He remained there until the end, and he controlled the bout.

Judges preferred grappiling to Page's infliction of little damage, as opposed to Page's more frequent but still eye-catching combinations.

Daley was fighting in his final 64-bout fight in his career that spanned over 19 decades. He received a hero's welcome earlier in the evening.

After dominating the first two rounds, Wendell Giacamo (27), threatened to ruin the party.

This was until Daley and the pair began to fight against each other in the cage.

Giacamo was left out of the count after a left hook missed the mark. His follow-up right hit the button, and Giacamo was left with no choice but to go for it.

It was a touching farewell for Daley in the place he began and ended his career.

Birmingham's Edwards won the chief support by defeating Lyoto Machida, an ex-UFC champion.

Edwards sent Machida reeling after he elbowed him before a left hook landed on his head.

The British middleweight champion was awarded his greatest victory to date when Ruthless Ground and Pound finished the job.

Edwards was joined by Leon, his brother and UFC welterweight champion.
