Team Alpha Male prospect Andre Fili submitted Ricky Wallace with a second-round armbar in a featured featherweight matchup. Wallace met his end 4:08 into round two.
Fili nearly finished it inside round one. He blasted Wallace with a two-punch combination and backed it up with a double-leg takedown. From there, Fili moved towards his opponent’s back, unleashing a hellacious stream of punishment many believed warranted a stoppage.
Referee Marcos Rosales, who drew criticism for his officiating for much of the night, thought otherwise and allowed it to continue.
Wallace never recoverd, and Fili capitalized in the second round. After another takedown, Fili snatched a limb and went belly-down with the armbar. Rosales stepped in despite the absence of a tapout and called a stop to the bout.
