Yair Rodriquez earned a win over Chan Sung Jung last Saturday night at UFC Denver, knocking the Korean senseless with a no-look upward elbow strike. The dazzling technique led some critics to claim the Mexican was “lucky” to land the killer blow.
“El Pantera” and Jung had been engaged in an entertaining five-round war with both men landing shots throughout the fight before Rodriguez landed the astounding, fight-ending blow with one second left in the fight. Rising UFC middleweight Israel Adesanya -- no stranger to flashy striking technique himself -- has chimed in to give his thoughts on the finish and is adamant there was no luck involved.
