This was the fight considered to be the best candidate for fight of the night. In one corner you have Paul Amaro (3-2 MMA), a relentless striker who consistently moves forward. In the other you have a very durable and well rounded George Garcia, who also only moves forward (1-1 MMA). With that in mind, the inevitable collision was set to be an epic fight.
Early on it appeared to be heading into that territory. Amaro true to form, kept the pace with his ranging strikes that seemed to confuse the shorter Garcia at first. Amaro did well enough, to keep the wrestling of Garcia at bay. However about 1:45 seconds into the opening round Garcia was able to close the distance, once he attached his hips, He judo tossed Amaro landing in side control with what appeared to be a bulldog choke.
However shortly after the flight landed Amaro apparently cried out on pain, having injured his shoulder on the landing. Referee Mike Bell alertly stepped in stopping Garcia from advancing, but awarding him the TKO finish.
True to his warrior form, Amaro seemed pained more by the loss than the injury. The good news is we will certainly see him again. The same can be said for the winner. George Garcia now moves to 2-1 as a pro. Hopefully these two can finish their tango the properly in the future!
