With well-known sluggers Ed Herman and Tim Boetsch standing opposite each other in a Light Heavyweight affair on the UFC Fight Night 81 "Prelims" on FOX Sports 1 tonight (Sun., Jan. 17, 2016), one had to expect a thrilling back-and-forth tussle.
And that's what transpired inside the TD Garden in Boston as Herman searched to establish some consistency in his UFC run, while "The Barbarian" was desperately trying to avoid a third-straight loss in "Beantown."
The pair of heavy-handed knockout artists connected early with Boetsch utilizing his power right hand to counter the left of Herman.
