KOTC: Swanson Seizes Opportunity, Stops Valencia
Everyone will agree that the main event was easily the most exciting fight of the night.
Valencia started the fight throwing half hearted shots to set up takedowns.Valencia secured a few and controlled the pace in the early going...
Two minutes into the bout, Valencia bloodied Swanson with a punch, causing the youngster’s nose to bleed like a turned on faucet. This seemed to wake up Swanson, as from this point forward the fight was all his.
Swanson stuffed every Valencia takedown attempt and kept the fight standing, where the Muay Thai expert picked apart the much shorter bantamweight. At the 4:52 mark of the first round referee Herb Dean called a stop to the bout after a combination of a punches and kicks on the ground connected on Valencia, followed by a barrage of punches.
Swanson now has two places he can go. One is towards a title shot in KOTC; the other sees him getting the call up to a show the likes of the UFC.
