Tommy McMillen wanted to prove point by knocking out Manolo Zecchini
""Vegas is smart, they had the submission as minus money. I could have subbed that kid out any time I wanted to. But I was coming in here with something to prove. I want those bonuses, I fight for bonus money. So I went in there and TKO'd him... I just want to prove to people that I can do that.""
""I think he's got like 10 finishes, nine knockouts. And I went in there and stood toe-to-toe with a dude that's got knockout power. He's knocked a lot of people out, I knocked him out. I think that was a lot more fun for the fans.""
