[MAIN EVENT]

[CO-MAIN EVENT]
(Lightweight Division) Darragh McGuinness versus Damon Newton
Round 1 – After McGuinness rickrolled me with his entrance song, he aggressively went after Newton early. He opeend a cut on Newton while stuffing his constant takedown attempts. However, a minute in, Newton scored a takedown into half guard... and then stood back up. Why? Near the end of the round, Newton scored another takedown and controlled to close out the round.
Round 2 – The majority of this round showcased Darragh McGuinness pushing forward and landing strikes while Newton failed with takedown after takedown. Newton did manage to get a takedown, briefly, but McGuinness stood right back up.
Round 3 – McGuinness had to know that he was ahead two rounds to one coming into this final round. He pushed forward with single shots, stuffed a takedown attempt, and got over-confident. He lunged forward with a left-right combination and got taken down into side control. Newton tried for several minutes to advance position, to land ground n pound, but McGuinness was wise to his ways. However, McGuiness tried to explode out of the position and gave up his back in the process. Newton lockd in the hooks, secured the choke, and forced the tap. Incredible comeback for Damon Newton! Damon Newton def. Darragh McGuiness via Submission (RNC) at 2:50 of round 3.
