Johnny Eduardo

“When I connected with the first punch, I felt he was dizzy so I connected with one more right away and knocked him out.

“He is the fourth-ranked fighter in the world. I was out of the sport for two years so I didn’t know what to expect, but I thought it would be a difficult fight for me.

“I am very motivated. I want to be in the UFC and do whatever they want me to do! I am ready to do whatever they ask.”

Eddie Wineland
