Spike Carlyle was successful in his first fight since leaving the UFC with a submission win over Batsumberel Dagvadorj in the LFA 103 headliner. Carlyle (10-3) went tit-for-tat with Dagvadorj in the grappling exchanges to start the fight. Eventually he found an opening to take the back, though, and sunk in a rear-naked choke to force the tap at the 4:00 mark of Round 1
