UFC San Diego was great from start to finish. The bantamweight headliner ended with a ‘KO of the Year’ contender, and the featherweight co-headliner produced one of the best fights of the year.
The preliminary portion of the card began with a back-and-forth affair between Youssef Zalal and Da’Mon Blackshear that resulted in a majority draw. Josh Quinlan had his debut delayed for a week but showed why he has worth the wait after finishing Jason Witt with a one-punch KO. The ‘Maverick’ caught Witt with a left hand that sent him to the canvas in a heap and it was over.
