Weekend Rundown: Lozano Returns to Violent Ways in Ohio
By: Chris Nelson

Six weeks after suffering the first loss of his professional career, “Cleveland Assassin” Chris Lozano got back in the win column Saturday night, flattening another foe with one of his trademark knockouts at North American Allied Fight Series’ “Caged Vengeance 9.”
Lozano, who was wiped from Bellator Fighting Championships’ fourth-season welterweight tournament quarterfinals by Lyman Good in a March 5 unanimous decision, squared off against Gerric Hayes at the Canton Civic Center in Canton, Ohio. After being back-mounted by Hayes for the bulk of the opening period, Lozano busted loose and uncorked a massive right hand-left head kick combination that turned out the Tennessean’s lights. The KO officially came with just one second remaining in the first round, improving Lozano’s record to 7-1 with all seven wins via stoppage.
In the card’s main event, Lozano stablemate and NAAFS welterweight champion Nick Duell lived up to his “Savage” moniker with a brutal head-kick knockout of Chicago-based challenger Kevin Knabjian. Competing exclusively under the NAAFS banner, Duell has amassed an 8-1 record since turning pro in December 2008.
The show also saw the opening round of NAAFS’ four-man heavyweight title tournament, with Stipe Miocic and Bobby Brents each advancing to the final. Unbeaten prospect Miocic recorded his fifth knockout win, as the 28-year-old firefighter took out William Penn -- a late replacement for Chase Gormley, who was himself replacing Mike Wessel -- with punches in the first stanza. Brents, meanwhile, took a three-round unanimous decision over fellow Illinois resident Antoine Hayes. Read more
