Greg Rebello got back on track last night at CES MMA 57, by quickly defending the promotion’s heavyweight title in memorable fashion.

The 37-year-old was competing for the first time since last June, when he failed to secure a UFC contract in Dana White’s Contender Series, due to a knockout at the hands of Josh Parisian.

Well, as you can see by watching the video below, Rebello put away Kevin Haley with a sharp and short left hand in the opening round.

Here are the complete results for CES MMA 57.
