SAN ANTONIO – It’s a good thing Carlos Diego Ferreira (10-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) doesn’t get paid by the minute, or he’d be going home with a relatively meager paycheck. The Brazilian UFC newcomer scored a slick judo throw on “The Ultimate Fighter 16″ winner Colton Smith (3-4 MMA, 1-3 UFC) and immediately moved into a modified rear-naked choke foe a quick win. The lightweight bout closed out the preliminary card of today’s UFC Fight Night 44 event at AT&T Center in San Antonio. It aired on FOX Sports 1 following an additional prelim on UFC Fight Pass and ahead of the main card on FOX Sports 1. Once Ferreira got an early clinch, he perfectly timed the takedown, unloaded some quick punches, and then locked in the hookless rear-naked choke. The fighter, who had a significant cheering section, forced the tap-out in just 38 seconds.
