Two-time NCAA Division I wrestling champion Austin O’Connor is the most recent wrestling standout to make the jump. It was a successful first outing Sunday at Fury FC 91 in Houston, as O’Connor (1-0) defeated fellow pro lightweight debutant Camden Fontenot (0-1) by TKO in Round 3. As expected, O’Connor manhandled Fontenot in the grappling department. At one point, he even slammed Fontenot’s head into the canvas, utilizing the floor as a weapon.
