If you were looking for a fun night of mixed martial arts (MMA) heading into a UFC-less stretch of September, last night (Fri., Sept. 11, 2015), AXS TV was the place to be.
That's because Texas-based MMA promotion Legacy Fighting Championships hosted its Legacy FC 45 card, which took place inside Hard Rock Casino in Tulsa, Okla., featuring a Welterweight main event of Ed Cline vs. JC Cottrell.
In a blistering 90 seconds of back-and-forth action that saw both men swing for the fences, and Cline nearly cinch up a guillotine choke on the submission ace Cottrell, it was the latter who was left standing after a brilliant standing rear-naked choke finish at 1:18 of the first round.
