Rashidi Ellis got a 1st rd KO of late replacement Jose Marrufo on the pre-lims. Hope Rashidi can get a bigger fight next, someone like Anthony Young or Mykal Fox would be solid

20-1 Ramon Cardenas vs 20-1 Michell Banquez at 118 about to begin. I favor Banquez in this one

[BigZ44]

Good 1st rd for Banquez

2-0 Banquez, Cardenas landing some solid counters but Banquez walking him down like a T-1000
