The fight ended in a stunning fashion, with Holmes winning through TKO. Following this encounter, the Dallas-area middleweight is on a six-fight win streak after his debut loss.
Trey Ogden’s stats till now
Trey Ogden has been on a rampage recently, winning back-to-back fights. The 32-year-old fought JJ Okanovich for the Fury FC lightweight title in the main event. The Glory MMA member won by technically submitting the American Kickboxing Academy prospect in the second round.
Ogden has spent the previous few years honing his skills on the regional level, but he can now call himself a UFC fighter. The 5’11” American now boasts a Pro MMA Record: 15-4-0 (Win-Loss-Draw).
