bantamweight top-prospect Cody Stamann (16-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) secured a win over Tom Duquesnoy (15-2 MMA, 1-1 UFC) at UFC 216 on Oct. 7.
Duquesnoy was highly regarded by fans and the UFC as a blue-chip prospect, and seemed to be garnering all the hype against Stamann despite the two sharing identical records entering the fight. Stamann set out to at least temporarily halt “The Fire Kid’s” hype train, and he appears to have done so.
“I guess it’s definitely the biggest victory [of my career],” Stamann told MMASucka.
