Video: John Gotti III stays unbeaten with 96-second slam TKO at CES MMA 56

John Gotti III continued to build his MMA prospect status on Friday when he picked up a fourth consecutive victory to begin his career, this time by slam knockout. Gotti III (4-0) showed solid composure as his opponent, David Espino (3-3), came out trying to take him down right away in the lightweight bout, which took place at Connecticut Convention Center in Hartford, Conn. Unfortunately for Espino, the favorite Gotti III had a response when he scooped him up in the air and delivered a violent slam on the shoulder and head. Espino couldn’t withstand the impact. He covered up and Gotti III landed a flurry of punches to force the TKO stoppage at the 1:36 mark of Round 1.

Nick Newell ’s first fight since his failed bid at a UFC contract was a success on Friday. After losing his fight on Dana White’s Contender Series in July, Newell (15-2) returned to competition and scored a first-round submission win against Antonio Castillo Jr. (10-10) at CES MMA 56, which took place at Connecticut Convention Center in Hartford, Conn. Newell wasted no time getting the job done against Castillo Jr. He capitalized on his first opportunity to take the back and locked in a rear-naked choke that forced the tap at the 2:06 mark of Round 2.

Nick Newell wants to make statement in return to UFC Fight Pass: ‘I still want the big fights’

BAD MMA News — Mon, 27 May 2019 16:14:47 +0000

Nick Newell has been quiet for the last 10 months or so, but don’t expect that to continue. The lightweight veteran who long lobbied for a shot at the UFC – but was generally rebuffed because he is a congenital amputee – was given his opportunity at this past July’s Dana White’s Contender Series 14 event, but he came up short, suffering a decision loss to Alex Munoz. “People have their good days and bad days, and when it counted, I didn’t get the ‘W,’” Newell recently told MMA Junkie Radio. “I thought it was a good fight. It was a competitive fight, but there were little areas where I faltered, and he was a little bit better. That’s the way things go, but I still know that I’m elite.
