UFC Vegas 47 got off to a gruesome start on Saturday.
A flyweight fight between Denys Bondar and Malcolm Gordon served as the opener of the preliminary portion of the card. The Ukrainian was making his promotional debut after a year of delays, so his first walk to the Octagon was highly anticipated. Unfortunately, the UFC newcomer saw his time in the cage come to an abrupt end after he suffered an elbow injury just a little over a minute into his fight with Gordon.
During a scramble on the ground, Malcolm ‘X’ appeared to secure an armbar on ‘Psycho’, but he was able to power out of it.
