One bout earlier, Caio Borralho secured a $50,000 bonus of his own for a knockout of Paul Craig in their middleweight pairing. “Borralho” kept the action on the feet for the majority of the contest, and that paid off in Round 2, when he wobbled his foe with a pair of hooks and rendered him unconscious with a straight left at the 2:10 mark of the period.
Elsewhere, lightweight prospect Mauricio Ruffy made an impression in his Octagon debut, finishing Jamie Mullarkey inside of a round to receive a $50,000 “Performance of the Night” check. A flying knee from Ruffy set the stage for the finishing sequence, as the Brazilian then sealed his triumph with ground-and-pound on the canvas 4:42 into Round 1.
Alessandro Costa secured the evening’s final $50,000 bonus by chopping down Kevin Borjas in their preliminary flyweight scrap. Costa hobbled his foe with low kicks and then unleashed a salvo of punches on the canvas to force the stoppage 1:35 into the first stanza.
