Santiago Luna made his promotional debut at Noche UFC in San Antonio on Saturday, facing off against Quang Le in a bantamweight bout.
The pairing kicked off the event’s main card, and had been Frankensteined together after Le’s original opponent, David Martinez, was shifted to a fight with Rob Font (Le himself was replacing Carlos Vera in the Marinez fight).
The fight started Le buckling Luna with a punch and head kick seconds in. Luna was already forced to shoot a takedown. He did get it but the underhook from Le allowed him to get right back up. Le was throwing the jab controlling the range until Luna landed a left hook and floored him. Le back up but Luna didn’t let up. He swarmed with a right that buckled Le and another left for another takedown. A hammer fist put the lights out for just a second and that was enough for a stoppage.
Official Result: Santiago Luna def. Quang Le by KO (punches), round 1, 2:46
