Pro Card

The pro card started with Santa Fe’s Josiah Reyes making his pro debut against Jesse Tafoya, from JacksonWink. Reyes ate some big counter hooks early, which caused his nose to get busted up in the first round, before finding his range and unleashing a brutal assault of body kicks the rest of the fight. While Tafoya was able to land spinning backfists & elbows on the inside, it was the strikes by Reyes that would open Tafoya up around his eyes and left side of his head. The visual damage would lead to Reyes picking up the win by unanimous decision.

In the co-main event Ali Omar, from JacksonWink, would take out Michael Morgan, from Mongolia, TX, in one-minute flat. Omar would miss a spinning wheel kick but would follow up with two right knees, both connecting. One to the body and the second to the head dropping Morgan. Omar would follow to the mat, landing in mount and rained down punches till the ref jumped in.

The main event would end slightly faster, as Jalin Fuller, from Luttrell/Yee MMA, would stuff Kemoy Anderson’s take downs. The El Paso fighter, stuck on his knees would roll to his back allowing Fuller to take advantage, knocking out Anderson with massive straight punches.
