KUNCHENKO vs OKAMI
Russian welterweight Aleksei Kunchenko made it 20-0 as a pro in UFC Fight Night prelim action from the Adelaide Entertainment Centre, as he delivered a one-sided three-round unanimous decision win over Yushin Okami.
Scores were 30-26 twice and 30-27 for Kunchenko. Okami falls to 35-12.
Kunchenko put in a workmanlike effort in the opening frame, beating Okami to the punch throughout while outworking the Japanese veteran, and he added to his lead in the second round as he continually stuffed Okami’s takedown attempts, making “Thunder” pay for each miss.
A right hand early in round three stunned Okami, but the Kanagawa product was able to clinch and clear his head.
