Pete Spratt (18-12) defeated fellow former UFC fighter Jason Von Flue (12-10-1) in the main event of the Ultimate Warrior Challenge's recent "Invasion" show.

The event took place this past Saturday at the Patriot Center, which is located on the campus of George Mason University in Fairfax, Va.

In the main event of the night's nine-fight card, Spratt used shots to the body to set up a knockout at 2:34 of the first round.

Spratt returned to action for the first time since his second-round submission loss to up-and-comer Ryan Ford at a February Maximum Fighting Championships event. The former UFC fighter and "The Ultimate Fighter 4" cast member has now won three of his past four fights. He had previously suffered a string of three consecutive losses.

Von Flue, a cast member from "The Ultimate Fighter 2," meanwhile has lost his past four fights -- and six of his past seven.

Also in action at Saturday's event was veteran Thomas Schulte (17-6), who defeated former UFC and WEC fighter Zach Light (4-6) via first-round submission.

Former WEC welterweight contender Carlo Prater (22-6-1) and UFC/PRIDE vet Aaron Riley (24-10-1) also picked up victories at the event.
