The battle for the promotion’s vacant belt served as the headlining contest of Friday’s CES MMA 53 event, which aired on AXS TV from Twin River Casino in Lincoln, R.I. Nordby came out swinging heavy leather to start, but Gravely avoided the big shots and drug his opponent to the floor. Nordby showed skill from his back, locking in an armbar with a beautiful transition. Gravely countered by trying to slam out of the hold. The first attempt didn’t work, but the second saw Nordby’s head slam to the canvas, leaving him unconscious
