LAS VEGAS – Daniel Spohn didn’t let three illegal punches to the back of the head stop him from pulling off a first-round submission victory against Angel DeAnda in the Week 2 main event of “Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series.” Spohn (16-5) got caught with some clean punches by DeAnda (18-6) early in the opening round of the light heavyweight bout. The sizable betting underdog had Spohn on the verge of a quick stoppage, but in the heat of the moment threw the series of illegal blows, causing referee John McCarthy to halt the action. After a break of several minutes, McCarthy deducted a point from DeAnda and the action resumed. Spohn blitzed his opponent immediately and rocked DeAnda. His legs collapsed and Spohn kept on him with the attack.
