Kick: 

Performance: 

"I thought I started out good. I got him a nice head kick and a nice punch, kind of rocked him but when I took him down, I just fell to high on him so he threw me over. After that, he rocked me with a couple really hard punches. He kind of got me, I thought I had him in an arm bar but I didn't get it. I then went for that leg lock and I just couldn't get the leg lock in and he kept getting out of it. I kept going for it. I messed up, he won and he is a good fighter and I just want to congratulate him," said Kick.

Even though Velasco connected with some hard punches, Kick said the he kept telling himself that he couldn't give up.

Toughest Challenge:

"He's just a good fighter. We're both good fighters I think. I just got caught and it can happen to anybody," said Kick.
