UFC Vegas 55 results and highlights: Almeida taps out Porter, Hooper stops Colares with strikes

We have come to the end of the finish-happy UFC Vegas 55 preliminary card, and five of the six bouts ended inside of the distance. Closing out this part of the event, Joseph Holmes landed a wicked knee to the face that dropped Alen Amedovski, and then he finished him off with a hookless rear-naked choke. All of this transpired in all of 64-seconds. Not a bad way to win your first UFC fight and bounce back from a loss.

Before that, the UFC heavyweight division witnessed what was pretty much a flawless victory. Jailton Almeida moved up from light heavyweight to run right through a much heavier Parker Porter with a first-round rear-naked choke.
