All seven fights ended with finishes on the AXS TV-televised LFA 45 main card at Morongo Casino Outdoor Pavilion in Cabazon, Calif. And five of those stoppages came in the first round. In the main event, Erick Silva (20-9) submitted Nick Barnes (12-4) with an armbar late in the first round for a victory in his promotional debut. Silva was fighting for the first time after a 15-fight run in the UFC, and he was in trouble from Barnes a couple times

The contest served as the featured bout of Friday’s LFA 45, which aired on AXS TV from Morongo Casino Outdoor Pavilion in Cabazon, Calif. Silva opened up the contest with several kicks from range that missed, while Barnes patiently inched close enough to land a sharp jab. After a big exchange of punches, the two moved into the clinch, where a Silva takedown was countered beautifully by Barnes, who was able to reverse as they hit the canvas and briefly hold mount. However, Silva refused to stay on the floor for long, quickly scrambling back to his feet, where both men had some success. In the final minute of the opening round, Barnes landed a stiff right that sent Silva crashing to the floor.

At the XFS this March, Ryan picked up a second-round TKO stoppage of veteran Matt Lagler, and in the process managed to showcase his ever-diversifying game. “There are things I could have definitely done better that we’ve been working on, but I got to show my striking, which I haven’t got to show off in other fights,” said Ryan.
