Final Fight Championship 37 took place this past Thursday at the Fight Dome at the Rio Hotel in Las Vegas, and a couple of big-show veterans picked up stoppage wins in their promotional debuts.
In the FFC 37 headliner, three-time UFC veteran Mike Santiago (22-12) picked up a second-round TKO victory in his first post-octagon appearance, outstriking 16-year pro Alonzo Martinez (47-23-1) in a 160-pound catchweight contest.
Meanwhile, two-time PFL veteran Anderson Goncalves (12-3) picked up a devastating first-round win over fellow middleweight Steve Montgomery (10-6) in the night’s co-main event. And in a featured light heavyweight contest, Ivan Erslan (7-1) rebounded from the first professional loss of his career with a brutal finish of longtime veteran Roger Carroll (18-18).
