Jun Yong Park got back into the win column at UFC Vegas 98 with a big decision victory over heavy-hitting veteran Brad Tavares.
30 seconds into the scrap, Tavares landed a straight right that put ‘The Iron Turtle’ on his back. Tavares moved in and quickly looked to lock in a rear-naked choke, but Park powered his way out and got back to his feet a minute later. The rest of the opening round was contested in the feet with both fighters swinging away.
The second and third rounds saw both fighters slug it out, but takedowns late in the second and third rounds may have been the difference-maker on the scorecards.
