Saint Preux crumpled Alonzo Menfield with a counter right walk-off KO that would have made Saitama (One-Punch Man) proud. Pereira may have earned a questionable rear-naked choke stoppage but there is no denying his entire performance was exhilarating. Kelleher sunk-in a sub-40-second guillotine choke against Ray Rodriguez, and Andre Muniz nearly snapped Bartosz Fabinski's arm with a first-round armbar.
