It was a frantic start with Quarantillo going on the attack with kicks and a right hand that dropped Benitez in the opening minute. Benitez recovered quickly and looked for an armbar, but Quarantillo slammed his way out of trouble and then took the bloodied Benitez’ back. All the while, the Buffalo native looked for a choke while landing strikes, but with a minute left, Benitez got free and back to his feet, nearly getting a guillotine choke before Quarantillo escaped and ended the frame with some ground strikes.

Quarantillo opened the second round with a takedown and again took Benitez’ back. In the second minute the two rose and exchanged blows until another takedown put Benitez on his back. Quarantillo fired off strikes from the top position and referee Mark Smith was watching closely. Once standing, Quarantillo kept the pressure on, and while a stoppage for a low blow from “Billy Q” and a visit from the Octagonside physician bought Benitez some time, the onslaught continued again until the horn.

Benitez wasn’t done yet, though, and he put Quarantillo on the deck with a left hand to open the final round. Quarantillo shook off the knockdown and got to his feet, and the two traded until a Quarantillo takedown with a little over three minutes to go. Again taking the back, Quarantillo landed strike after strike, and after a series of unanswered blows, Smith had seen enough, stopping the fight at the 3:40 mark.

Quarantillo moves to 16-3 with the win. Benitez, who replaced Herbert Burns, falls to 22-10.

The fighters kept it on the feet in the opening five minutes, Vieira showing off an improved striking game based on a stiff jab that marked up Stoltzfus’ face. Stoltzfus was undeterred, though, and he got in his share of shots before the end of the round.

Vieira wasted no time getting the fight to the mat to start round two, but Stoltzfus got to his feet with no issue and got back to using his hands. Vieira did the same and he continued to mark up his foe’s face, but Stoltzfus hung tough as he had his moments.

Scoring a takedown to start the third stanza, Vieira wasn’t able to keep Stoltzfus there for too long, but he did get the fight back to the canvas soon after, this time with a rear naked choke that ended the bout at 1:54 of the final frame.

Vieira moves to 8-1. Stoltzfus falls to 13-3.

Makhachev’s dominance continued in the third, but Moises kept looking for his chance to turn things around, and he went after his opponent’s leg late in the stanza, only to come up empty.

In the first minute of the fourth round, Makhachev put Moises on the deck again, and this time the Brazilian wouldn’t escape, as Makhachev locked in the rear naked choke that forced a tap out at the 2:38 mark.

With the win, the No.9-ranked Makhachev moves to 20-1. The No.14-ranked Moises falls to 15-5.
