#4. Rafa Garcia submits Jesse Ronson
Whether they are thrown intentionally or not, illegal techniques are the number one thing to mar a great performance. As seen in the bout that precluded this one, Chris Barnett was on the receiving end of an illegal elbow and lost a technical decision because of it. Martin Buday was ahead on the judges' scorecards, which resulted in the victory. Even so, the win doesn't come across as compelling.
The illegal strikes spilled over into Garcia and Ronson's bout. While working his way up, Ronson took a knee to the face, a strike that was thrown just a tad prematurely. This resulted in a point deduction, which would have been significant had this fight gone to the judges.
No judges were needed, however. 'Gifted' was able to take his opponent's back and sink in the rear naked choke submission with only ten seconds left in the fight's second round.
#3. Drakkar Klose closes the show
Klose took some time off after being finished for the first time in his professional career at the hands of contender Beneil Dariush. As it's been some time, this long of a layoff wasn't exactly the plan for the 34-year-old. He was matched against UFC veteran Jeremy Stephens in April 2021, but a violent shove at the weigh-ins caused an injury that forced Klose to withdraw.
Finally, the fighter hailing from Michigan was able to return, and he sure made up for lost time. The only takeaways were how heavy-handed Klose is and how solid a chin Jenkins lays claim to.
The second round was necessary, but just barely. Klose continued his onslaught almost immediately and put 'The Human Highlight Reel' down in a way so convincing that the fight was called off.
