Meanwhile, Ige needed just one punch to dispatch short-notice foe Gavin Tucker in a featured 145-pound affair. The Dana White’s Contender Series alum wiped his foe out with a straight right hand in just 22 seconds for his seventh win in his last eight appearances.
Earlier, Grant earned some extra cash for his second consecutive KO, a Round 2 stoppage of Jonathan Martinez at bantamweight. “The Ultimate Fighter 18” finalist ended Martinez’s night with a right hook to the body followed by a left hand to the head at the 3:03 mark of the frame.
Finally, Semelsberger got the evening started in explosive fashion with a 16-second knockout of Jason Witt in the opening preliminary bout at welterweight. Semelsberger countered a low kick from his adversary with a powerful straight right hand that sent Witt’s head bouncing off the canvas and instantly ended the fight.
