John Salgado vs. Hugh McKenna
Salgado dances around his opponent with right hooks and kicks to his opponent. John seemed to be controlling the pace, until Hugh brings out some devastating knee shots. Salgado may have just burned himself out early on. And McKenna proved to be a submission machine towards the end.
Hugh McKenna wins after Hugh McKenna taps out (armbar) at 4:06 of the first round.
