Steve Garcia made the most of his unexpected UFC on ESPN 60 co-main event opportunity.
Originally scheduled for the main card, Garcia (16-5 MMA, 5-2 UFC) vs. Seungwoo Choi (11-7 MMA, 4-6 UFC) slid into the co-headliner when Brad Tavares vs. Jun Yong Park was canceled after Friday’s weigh-ins. A little over 24 hours later, Garcia capitalized on the opportunity when he finished Choi with strikes at 1:36 of Round 1. The featherweight bout took place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
