Two-time Olympian and NCAA Division I wrestling stand-out Daniel Cormier won the KOTC Heavyweight Championship with a submission victory over Tony Johnson Jr. Cormier is next set to compete on the STRIKEFORCE: HOUSTON undercard in a non-title fight with Jason Riley.
Two other fighters successfully defended their titles. Quinn Mulhern handed Levi Stout the first loss of his career with a rear-naked choke in the opening round to keep the KOTC Welterweight Championship and improve his record to an impressive 13-1. Mulhern is a legit fighter who definitely has to be on the UFC's radar. The colorful Bobby "King" Green also took out an unbeaten fighter, choking out Daron Cruickshank to retain the KOTC Junior Welterweight Championship.
