The finish earned Chapman one of the promotion's Knockout of the Night bonuses and pushed his record to 2-0 under the BKFC banner. Both wins came by knockout. Dixon's promotional debut lasted less than a minute.

The card marked BKFC's first event in Scotland and drew a sellout crowd at the OVO Hydro.
