Result: Jordan Espinosa def. Mark De La Rosa via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-26)

Key stat: Espinosa landed a whopping 74 percent of his total strikes and outstruck De La Rosa 188-43.
“I noticed early that the jab was working. In the third, he put a pace on me. I took that opportunity to get some takedowns because he was being over-aggressive. I just kept sticking with what was working.”
“I feel great. My last two fights barely went two and a half minutes each. This was the fight I needed – to go three rounds and get tested. It’s about that time. It’s been over a year since my last win. It feels awesome. I was able to show a wide range of my skills. … It was weird because when I got in there, I had zero nerves at all. I think fighting on Dana White’s Contender Series helped with that.”
“I’m trying to get on ‘Fight Island.’ I’ve never been overseas before. Tyson Nam just got a knockout. I’d be down to fight him.”
