There was a big name atop LFA’s Friday card in California, but those below him were fighting like they wanted to show something, too. All seven fights ended with finishes on the AXS TV-televised LFA 45 main card at Morongo Casino Outdoor Pavilion in Cabazon, Calif. And five of those stoppages came in the first round.

Silva was fighting for the first time after a 15-fight run in the UFC, and he was in trouble from Barnes a couple times
