White Awards Three More Deals On Week 5 Card

Isaac Moreno survived late submission attempts from Reginaldo Junior to win a unanimous decision and secure his spot on the roster. The undefeated prospect announced his wedding would take place hours after the fight, and White gave him a contract as a wedding gift, according to the report.

Martin Kozak battered Christian Echols over two rounds before finishing him with body shots at 1:32 of the second frame. Kozak was the heaviest betting favorite on the card and used his size advantage after Echols missed weight by four pounds. Referee Mike Beltran paused the action in the first round when Kozak landed a low blow that dropped Echols, but the stoppage only delayed the inevitable.
