Makdessi runs roughshod over Campbell
It won't show up on the official scorecards, but John Makdessi may have finished Shane Campbell twice.
After serving as target practice for Campbell's chopping leg kicks early, Makdessi sent "Shaolin" careening to the mat with a cracking right hook. Makdessi swarmed with a flurry of punches, but Campbell was somehow able to survive.
Makdessi didn't let up, though, and sent Campbell on another unscheduled trip to the floor in the waning moments of the round. This time, Makdessi was able to seal the deal, flurrying on a prone Campbell until the referee put an end to the punishment at 4:53 of the opening round.
