KELLY VS. MONTGOMERY
Four-time Olympian Daniel Kelly got his hometown fans in Melbourne up and cheering in UFC 193 prelim action Saturday, gutting out a hard-fought three-round unanimous decision over Ultimate Fighter 21 alum Steve Montgomery.
All three judges saw it 29-28 for the 38-year-old Kelly, now 10-1. Montgomery falls to 8-4.
Montgomery had some success early in the first round with his counterstrikes and a hard knee to the body, but as soon as Kelly got close after a couple hard left hands to the head, the Olympic judoka tossed the Floridian to the mat and kept him there for much of the rest of the frame.
