UFC 232 kicks off with a pair of bantamweight fighters. Brian “Boom” Kelleher began his UFC career in impressive fashion, beating respected veteran Iuri Alcantara by submission and he added to his resume with a win over former champion Renan Barao. Montel Jackson earned a spot in the UFC with a win on Dana White’s Contender Series but he was unsuccessful in a decision loss to Ricky Simon. The fighters exchange low kicks early, with Jackson also mixing in his jab. Kelleher is able to survive for a time but Jackson locks in a D’Arce choke for the submission less than two minutes in.
