Uncrowned has Dirty Boxing 4 live results, round-by-round updates, start time, highlights, live stream and more for the Gable Steveson vs. Billy Swanson fight card on Thursday night inside The Pinnacle in Nashville, Tennessee. Olympic gold medalist and up-and-coming MMA prospect Gable Steveson makes his unexpected Dirty Boxing debut against Bellator veteran Billy Swanson in the night’s main event.
Steveson (1-0 MMA) made history in the 2020 Olympic Games when he stunned the field at just 21 years old to become the youngest freestyle super heavyweight wrestler to ever win gold. A two-time NCAA champion and two-time Dan Hodge Trophy winner, Steveson is already regarded as one of the most dominant amateur wrestlers of this era. Now making a full-time transition to professional fighting, Steveson made his MMA debut in September with a vicious first-round stoppage of Braden Peterson at LFA 217.

Swanson (4-3 MMA, 0-1 BKFC), similar to his Olympic opponent, makes his Dirty Boxing debut on Thursday.

More recently, Swanson debuted in bare-knuckle boxing with BKFC this past August, losing via third-round knockout to Bear Hill.
UFC veteran Bryan Battle makes his sophomore Dirty Boxing appearance against “The Ultimate Fighter 17” alum Nick Kohring in the co-main event.

Only one judge agreed with Uncrowned, awarding all the rounds to Trinaldo, with two other judges seeing a 29-28 fight. Regardless, the right man won as Trinaldo advances his Dirty Boxing record to 2-0.

He raises Ayman’s hand, acknowledging his teak-tough opponent.

Even though Trinaldo can arguably lose the third round and still win the fight, Trinaldo comes out all-guns blazing, operating like a Duracell-charged bunny, bouncing around the ring and popping Ayman with his punches. Ayman bled profusely from the nose yet showed extraordinary heart to stay upright despite the onslaught. It wasn’t all one-way. Ayman landed a nice right hand, but any success he had was just silenced by Trinaldo’s footwork, speed, and unorthodox aggression.
Round 3: 10-9 — 30-27 Trinaldo

Trinaldo bled slightly from the nose but the cutsman did his job between rounds. Ayman could barely escape damage, either. Trinaldo enters the second round with clinical aggression. Trinaldo fights Ayman into a corner, and mixes his feints with strikes to keep his opponent on his toes. Another winning round from Trinaldo. What a beatdown.
Round 2: 10-9 — 20-18 Trinaldo
- Thu, October 30, 2025 at 11:34 PM EDT

Ayman is caught napping as Trinaldo comes out the blocks early with aggression, landing crisp shots. Trinaldo, who is smaller and stockier, does a good job of preventing Ayman from finding the right distance as he almost sticks his head in Ayman’s chest and flings punches at his head. Ayman turns the tide midway through the round. Throws a scything elbow for the strike of the fight from what I can see! Ayman really battling back into this now. Difficult one to score now in the final minute. The first round is up for grabs. Another elbow lead from Ayman, and Trinaldo drops him! Trinaldo pummeling him now. Big first round.
Round 1: 10-9 — Trinaldo

And Francisco Trinaldo and Nayanesh Ayman are in the ring for their welterweight fight. Let’s go!

One of the most brutal first-round beatdowns you’ll have seen all month.

“I love it,” Ware said after the win. Anik asked what’s next, and a man who just let his fists do the talking, simply said: “Another DBX fight.”
I like this dude. A bruiser’s frame with fan-friendly striking. For sure want to see more from Ware.

Oh my God! That was almost a first-round knockout with the very first punch! Ware starts like he means business, cracking Schenk with a right hook that wobbled his opponent from the off! Then he drops in! And again! That’s twice in 45 seconds. It could all be over! But the referee allows him to re-set. But then a straight left drops Schenk! Just how many knockdowns is this already? Is this a 10-7? Ware is brutalizing him! Body-shot! Nasty business. Can Schenk even get up? He can! But he’s wobbly. The referee calls it! That’s my knockout of the night! Be Ware, indeed, Jason Anik! Be Ware, indeed.

How about Montavious “Be” Ware, Jason Anik asks, as Ware walks to the ring, without a nickname.
Ware takes on Alexander Schenk at 150 pounds.

After the sudden-death fourth-round, we go to the scorecards…
38-38 even
39-37 and 38-37 for Garcia, by majority decision.
Well-deserved.

The judges must have scored similar to Uncrowned, with 28-28, as a split draw was declared, forcing a fourth and deciding round — the first time in Dirty Boxing Championship’s still-developing history.
Garcia lasnds better shots in the fourth, clearly emboldened by that knockdown in the third. Da Costa breathes from an open mouth. Garcia struggles to cut the ring off on an ever-moving Da Costa, but he still cracked him with solid lefts. A professional way to finish strong and earn the win.
Round 4: 10-9 Garcia (38-37 Garcia)
- Thu, October 30, 2025 at 10:55 PM EDT

Garcia fought his way back into the bout in the second and third rounds, but again the better work came from Da Costa who had subtle head movement to evade Garcia’s jab. He moved laterally, and lunged with his combinations. Garcia bled from the side of the eye. Garcia with a huge right hand to drop Da Costa toward the end of the round! What a come-from-behind shot!
Round 3: 10-8 — Garcia (28-28)
- Thu, October 30, 2025 at 10:49 PM EDT
Alan Dawson
Garcia with a body shot to start the round but Da Costa responded with a left to the body. Garcia end up on the floor but it’s clear it’s a slip. Da Costa pounces, as he looks to take advantage of the situation. Da Costa slightly quicker to the punch.
Round 1: 10-9 — Da Costa.

Levi da Costa, from Brazil, fights Michael Garcia, from LA, in the first fight — a heavyweight bout — on the main card. There’s a lot of momentum to carry, after those wild fights and finishes.

The ring announcer suggests a moment of silence for Arthur Jones, brother of Jon Jones, who died on October 3.
“A devastating loss for the MMA community, NFL community, and for Jon,” said Jason Anik at the end of a video montage.

Wow! In a pure, blink-and-you-miss-it opening round, Felipe thumped St. John to the floor once, couldn’t finish in the five-second window, but got him down again, and closed the show for good before pumping an imagine shotgun and blowing him for fun.
