Todorovich faced a unique challenge in rematching former University of MMA welterweight champion Jarett Conner (independen), who returned to the U after a year-long hiatus. Himself the reigning welterweight king prior to Todorovich wresting the title from him in 2014, Conner demonstrated his trademark strength and unstoppable takedowns with the same adeptness for which he’s known.
