Picks up UFC contract
Quarantillo defeated Kamuela Kirk via TKO (punches) at 0:22 of Round 3 at Dana White's Tuesday Night Contender Series. He was one of three fighters to earn a UFC contract following the event.
ANALYSIS
Quarantillo got off to a slow start, getting taken down several times early by a hungry opponent in search of a submission. Those efforts appeared to sap Kirk's gas tank, however, as Quarantillo had a dominant second round defined heavily by his work to the body of his opponent. Quarantillo had plenty left for the third round as well, as he blitzed his opponent early with a series of knees and punches that forced referee Herb Dean to step in and end the bout. Quarantillo may be a bit up there in age (30) compared to other fighters on the Contender Series, but he showed the boss Tuesday that he has enough cardio and killer instinct to warrant a spot on the UFC roster.
