Saturday’s Victory FC 60 was light on stoppages, but one of the rare ones also nabbed “Performance of the Night” honors.
Victory FC 60, which was held in conjunction with Hoosier Fight Club, took place at The Venue at Horseshoe Casino in Hammond, Ind., and it streamed on UFC Fight Pass.
In the middleweight main event, Andrew Kapel (12-6) nearly secured a late-fight triangle choke but ultimately settled for a unanimous-decision victory over Kevin Nowaczyk (19-4). Here’s that choke (via Twitter):
Although the decision likely could have gone either way, Kapel probably helped sway the scorecards by opening some cuts on his opponent’s face in the third round, which likely to stuck in the mind of the judges. Kapel, who had posted stoppages in his first 11 career victories, went to a decision for the first time and now moves to 4-1 over his past five fights.
In the heavyweight co-main event, Don'Tale Mayes (4-2) cruised to a unanimous-decision victory over Mohammed Usman (3-1), the younger brother vet of UFC vet Kamaru Usman. The sometimes-plodding affair resulted in 30-27 scores across the board.
While the 10-fight card produced just two finishes, welterweight Josh Streacker (5-1) made his a memorable one and scored a comeback to defeat J.P. Saint Louis (1-2) via second-round knockout with a barrage of punches. It earned “Performance of the Night” honors (via YouTube):
