Dwight Joseph advances to Semifinals with flashy jumping-knee KO

Wilker Nsamo is a perfect 7-0, with six of those wins coming via a finish. A former regional featherweight champion and a Brazilian jiu-jitsu purple belt, Nsamo considers his strengths as “coldness, attention, reasoning.” Nsamo enters off a second-round submission of Mohamad Baillot in September.

Dwight Joseph is a 10+-year veteran of the sport who has found success on the regional scene with a pair of bantamweight titles. A Team Alpha Male product, Joseph has lost just once since 2016 – going 12-1 in that time. Joseph last fought in September, scoring a decision win over Kale Moniz.
