The prelims have not long been underway, and fans have already witnessed to a bone-crushing knockout. In the first prelim fight, Youssef Zelal and Da'Mon Blackshear put on a back-and-forth war which resulted in a draw, but that matchup was outclassed by the finish in the catchweight fight that followed. Josh Quinlan came into the promotion with an inexperienced record of 5-0-1 and quickly got to work with a standout knockout in his first octagon appearance. UFC fighters couldn't hold back their excitement and let their thoughts be known regarding the fight on social media. Explosive lightweight prospect Terrance McKinney praised 'The Renegade' and led the way to show support for the UFC's new welterweight contender.

Although the 135 pound division is stacked with killers, an impressive win for either man tonight could mean they leapfrog their way to a title shot.

A first-round submission over Aaron Thompson followed, and despite being just two fights into his MMA career, the welterweight showcased enough promise to be picked up by the LFA. LFA 9 was the stage set for Quinlan's debut in the promotion, and after he entered the second round for the first time in his professional career, he scored a beautiful knockout. Back-to-back third-round finishes gifted the 29-year-old a chance on Dana White's Tuesday Night Contender Series, which he took full advantage of. Another stellar performance saw the knockout artist end the fight just 47 seconds in, but it was later overturned after he tested positive for the banned substance drostanolone.ESPN MMA@espnmmaJOSH QUINLAN JUST PUT IT ON HIM #DWCS1279157JOSH QUINLAN JUST PUT IT ON HIM #DWCS https://t.co/oCMFm6ZoFv Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Edited by kennedyking2016 × Feedback Thank You!
