In front of an official attendance guestimate of over 3,000 at the Santa Ana Star Center in Albuquerque, Fickett was surprisingly defeated by a far less accomplished Richard Villa. Put on his back from a right hand early in the second round, Fickett was ground and pounded until the referee called a stop to the bout at 34 seconds.
The other UFC vet, Alberto Crane managed to avoid the upset by snapping a two-fight losing streak with a guillotine choke submission over Adrian Valdez at 1:35 of the first round.
