Liveblog: UCC Part 2

First into the cage is Team TKO 126 pounder Timm Kitts and AMA FC 136 pounder Doug Miller. Miller's got UFC fighter Charlie Brenneman and ace coach Mike Constantino in his corner, so even though this is his pro debut, he's at least got that going for him. What else does he have going for him? A right hand and the confidence to throw it, and after landing a few of them a bout-ending cut opens over Kitts' eye. The official time of the TKO stoppage is 1:06 of the first round. As an aside, the lights keep getting lowered and even go off at one point, so props to these two guys for fighting ninja-style in the darkness. ATT's Sean Soriano (145 pounds) and Freestyle Fighting Academy's Denis Hernandez (144 pounds) are up next. Anyone curious as to why two Florida schools are clashing here in New Jersey? I know I am. But in lieu of asking, I'm just going to make something up, like: they're both wanted by the authorities in Florida for alligator rustling. Round 1 sees Soriano get the takedown and spend the duration trying fruitlessly to pass the guard. Hernandez, meanwhile, comes close with two armbar attempts but almost gets slammed on his head for it. Round 2 is more of the same until Soriano opens up a bad cut over Hernandez's eye just before the bell. The doctors wave this one off in between rounds, giving Soriano the win.
