Hassan, in the tradition of ATT, is a thickly muscled welterweight. The Iraq-born powerhouse picked his spots against Ryan Keenan in the opening round dropping the Orlando-native in the middle of the first and then finished the fight in the second with a huge right. Keenan got slugged by a left on the way down but he was already out cold at 2:42.
Sabah Homasi out of ATT didn't have the same luck. He was taken down easily and mounted in the first round by John Kelly. In the second, Homasi scored a takedown but was reversed. Kelly got his when Homasi tried to get to his knees. Kelly worked for about 30 seconds before he locked on a rear-naked choke. Kelly (4-0) got the victory at 2:48 of the second.
In fight No. 3, Pablo Alfonso seized the moment from ATT fighter Marcos DaMatta. DaMatta was inside Alfonso's guard and got lazy for one second. Alfonso slapped on a nasty armbar and the fight was stopped immediately at 1:47 of the first.
