What a performance by Andre Soukhamthath! Originally scheduled to fight Gavin Tucker at the event, Tucker withdrew a few weeks ago, leaving Soukhamthath with very little time to prepare for debutant, Jonathan Martinez.

Martinez entered the fight with a gleaming reputation and was most observers' pick to defeat Soukhamthath whose best days were thought to be behind him.

However, Soukhamthath rolled the clock back in this encounter with a hugely superior display of striking which put Martinez on the back foot. Martinez got dropped with a big right hand and was lucky to survive the first round.

Martinez came into the fight more in the second and third rounds but Soukhamthath impressively kept him at bay. The fight ended with Martinez trapped in Soukhamthath's triangle choke.

Soukhamthath was the winner by Unanimous Decision. "The Asian Sensation" proved to the world that he is not finished yet.
