"Both men came out looking to strike initially, with the pressure and body work of Natividad (9-0) being an early highlight. However, the grappling of Garcia (10-4-1) proved to be his undoing, as "The Hawaiian Punch" was able to easily control his opponent on the ground. Garcia spent most of the last two rounds defending submission attempts and had little to offer in terms of offense."
"Bantamweight prospect Amari Sengsavanh came into the night's co-main event undefeated but was at a weight disadvantage after opponent Carlos Tardio came in 4.4 pounds overweight. Sengsavanh (8-1) was unable to make his opponent pay for his unprofessionalism, as Tardio (12-2) was composed during striking exchanges and kept firing back. Ultimately, the judges preferred the volume striking of Tardio."
"After a furious start to the first round, Orozco (5-2, 1 NC) was able to take the back of Jones (9-3) and sink in a tight rear-naked choke. The tap officially came at 2:58 of the second round, and Orozco called for a title fight next."
