Elsewhere, Daniel Zellhuber and Francisco Prado garnered “Fight of the Night” honors and $50,000 apiece for their featured lightweight scrap. Prado’s aggression helped him get off to a strong start, but the rangy Zellhuber bloodied his opponent with strikes and got stronger as the bout progressed to ultimately earn a unanimous decision triumph.
Finally, Manuel Torres received the card’s other $50,000 “Performance of the Night” check by virtue of his 14th career first-round finish against Chris Duncan in a lightweight pairing. After some early exchanges on the feet, Torres found his way to his adversary’s back and elicited a tapout at the 1:46 mark of Round 1.
