THE FIGHT
Much fitter than his opponent, Marcelo Golm was superior in the fight from the first moment. Betting entirely on the right-hand choke, Billy Swanson was no match for the Brazilian, who relied on boxing and knees in the clinch to undermine his opponent's energy and build victory.
When he heard the signal warning about the final seconds of the round, Golm was more aggressive, landing a high knee to Swanson's head, landing a strong right blow and hammering the North American to the ground until referee Mike Beltran interrupted with three seconds remaining. towards the end of the assault.

Lugo was superior from the beginning of the fight, abusing left jabs and connecting the vast majority of blows thrown. Despite his dominance on the feet, it was on the ground that Lugo decided the fight. In the final stretch of the round, he locked in a rear naked choke and knocked out Keith Lee at the moment the bell sounded, determining the end of the round. Lee quickly regained consciousness and stood up, but referee Bobby Wombacher stopped the fight.

Keith Lee, in turn, lost his second in a row in the organization. The Xtreme Couture fighter now has seven wins and five losses.
