Steve Garcia stopped David Onama in the first round at UFC Vegas 110 in the main event in their featherweight clash.
Garcia was the aggressor from the start, allowing Onama little time to settle. Garcia used his combinations to the head and body, partially his left hand to unsettle his man. He clipped Onama with a left hand that sent him to the floor. While Garcia survived that attack, it was trouble once again.
He caught his opponent with two uppercuts to drop him again, while a third knockdown followed after which he ended the fight with ground-and-pound strikes as the referee stopped the fight. With this win, Garcia has now finished six of his last seven victories by knockout. In his post-fight comments, Garcia called out BMF Champion Max Holloway.
“I said this before, my dad told me to be violent in here. My dad asks, I try to deliver. I wanted to make something of myself. I came to the UFC, I went on this long fight streak, asked God to make me somebody and I’d do the world. I’m here proving my worth. In here, this is kill or be killed. I’m like bro, I’m going to get you so you better be ready.
“I don’t get paid by the hour, I get paid by the minute so I make sure I finish my opponents if it presents itself. I’m going to throw a little curveball in there,” Garcia shouted. “I want the Rocky Balboa story. I want the one with Max Holloway and the ‘BMF’ title. I want that champ. I want that BMF Max Holloway champion right there,” Garcia said
