Elsewhere, Darren Elkins garnered a $50,000 “Performance of the Night” award for a come-from-behind victory over Michael Johnson in a featured featherweight affair. Johnson appeared to be in control in round one, as he used his superior speed and quickness to batter his opponent on the feet. The tide turned when Elkins was able to get a takedown in the second stanza, however, and “The Damage” eventually scrambled to his foe’s back to earn a rear-naked choke submission at the 2:22 mark.
Finally, Marco Polo Reyes earned the evening’s other $50,000 “Performance of the Night” check for a first-round knockout of Matt Frevola in a preliminary lightweight scrap. Reyes rocked and dropped his opponent during an early exchange, and “El Toro” kept the pressure on from there, ending the contest with a right hand to the jaw 60 seconds into the opening stanza.
