Tyrone Spong demolishes Travis Bartlett in winning MMA debut

After a career made in the kickboxing ring, Tyrone Spong finally transitioned to mixed martial arts with impressive credentials, big hype and limitless potential.

His first time out was nothing more than target practice. Spong landed at will against journeyman veteran Travis Bartlett before closing him out with a walkaway knockout off a right cross at 3:15 of the first round.

"I've been competing on the highest level for a long time," he said afterward. "I can deal with the pressure".

Spong barely got touched in the fight, which led off the World Series of Fighting main card. He knocked Bartlett down in the fight's opening seconds with a vicious head kick, but let him up and continued with his precision strikes. Within two minutes, he had Barlett bleeding from over his left ear. The he attacked with body shots.

Finally, with Bartlett backed against the cage, Spong stepped in with a short right that landed flush and put Bartlett down.

Ironically, Spong, who is used to the kickboxing rules that allow a downed fighter a standing-eight count, walked away, forgetting he could try to finish on the ground. It didn't matter as Bartlett wasn't getting up, and ref Steve Mazzagatti stopped it.

"I have to get used to finishing the guy," he admitted with a smile.

Bartlett hadn't fought in over two years, and after getting his debut under his belt, Spong will likely draw a more relevant opponent his next time out.

Marlon Moraes upsets Miguel Torres in split decision

Miguel Torres' road to bantamweight elite status hit another speed bump at Saturday night's World Series of Fighting. Once the division's best, Torres backward slide continued with a loss to Marlon Moraes.

The judges scored it a split-decision for Moraes, scoring it 30-27, 29-28, 28-29, but in all reality it wasn't quite that close, and the score for Torres was questionable at best.

Moraes was faster, more accurate, more powerful, and simply better. In a fight that was almost exclusively standup, Moraes landed the harder blows and bloodied Torres during the three-round encounter. He also scored the fight's only takedown and had the best sequence.

Moraes opened with a blistering first minute, starching Torres with an uppercut that rocked the former WEC champ, then following with a flurry against the fence. Torres, sensing trouble, dropped low for a heel hook, and the attack left Moraes on the defensive, allowing Torres some recovery time.

Torres looked better in the second, but failed in several attempts to get the fight to the ground, where he was expected to have a sizable advantage. Moraes was measured in his striking and found his target repeatedly, leading Torres to his fifth loss in his last eight fights.

Afterward, WSOF said Moraes would next face Tyson Nam at a future date.

Torres' record now stands at 40-6, while Moraes is 9-4 with 1 draw.

Anthony Johnson earns spectacular KO over D.J. Linderman

One moment Anthony Johnson was in danger, the next he was celebrating victory. That's the kind of knockout power he has, and he used it to destroy D.J. Linderman in the World Series of Fighting co-main event.

The end came in a blink. During a flurry, Johnson covered his eye, suggesting he had suffered an illegal poke. He backed up, but referee Herb Dean said he did not see it and allowed the fight to continue. Linderman rushed in, hoping to take advantage of the situation. Instead, he threw one punch and missed, and Johnson countered with a short but thunderous right hand that had Linderman unconscious before he hit the floor.

Linderman fell face first to the mat for the spectacular knockout.

The finish came at 3:58 of the first round. It was the first time Linderman has ever been KO'd.

"He kept talking about power and all that because he came down from heavyweight, but I just showed him what a 170-pounder could do," said Johnson, whose left eye was reddened after the fight, suggesting he had indeed been poked there.

Johnson had relied on a kick-heavy offense in the opening two minutes of the fight, then switched tracks by taking Linderman down before finishing him with his hands.

It was the fourth straight win since being released from the UFC for the powerful striker, who improved to 14-4.

The win snapped a three-fight win streak for Linderman, who fell to 14-4.

Andrei Arlovski TKO's Devin Cole

Though he's still just 33 years old, Andrei Arlovski has heard the calls from critics to retire for years. He's spent the recent past trying to show he's still a relevant fighter on the world's heavyweight stage, and in his highest-profile fight since his Strikeforce release, Arlovski delivered the quick finish he needed, earning a TKO win over Devin Cole at 2:37 of round one.

The finish came after the two reset following a clinch against the fence. Cole tried an inside leg kick and Arlovski came over the top with an overhand right that clipped Cole behind the ear.

That sent the big man to the mat, and Arlovski followed with a series of hammerfists until ref Steve Mazzagatti called a halt to the action.

The victory was the third in his last four fights. The other bout was a no contest against Tim Sylvia due to an illegal strike.

Arlovski's win came in the main event of The World Series of Fighting's debut event, which took place at PH Live in Las Vegas.
It was the former UFC champ's 18th career win against nine losses and a no contest.

Cole, who was fighting for the first time in nearly a year, had a two-fight losing streak snapped, falling to 20-10-1.
