Last week in Texas MMA: Macias submits ‘Ox’ at XKO, Rob Butler wins title at BACA
XKO 7
Saturday, June 5
XKO Arena, Arlington, Texas
On a night that will be remembered as much for the heat and humidity as the fights, Xtreme Knockout ramped up the production and delivered what many will agree was their finest event yet.
The main event of certified “old school” UFC-vet Anthony Macias versus Edwynn “Ox” Jones generated no surprises as Macias submitted Jones with little resistance.
The real magic happened when hungry young fighters hit the mat, such as when Quaint Kemph battled and defeated Chris Marquez in what was easily the fight of the night.
