Highlights! David Teymur drops Martin Svensson with powerful uppercut at UFC Fight Night 84

Swedish prospect David Teymur kicked off the Fight Pass-exclusive UFC Fight Night 84 card today (Sat., Feb. 27, 2016) with an explosive finish.

The All Stars Training Center finished off fellow The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 22 contestant Martin Svensson with a brutal left uppercut in the first "Prelims" contest.

For much of the first round, Teymur showcased his diverse striking attack, which Svensson had no answer for. Svensson was very tentative and was often moving backwards throughout the first frame.

The 26-year-old Teymur landed a takedown to put an exclamation point at the end of round one.
