Myktybek Orolbai made a big first impression at UFC Vegas 82 on Saturday.
Making his promotional debut inside The APEX whilst riding a six-fight win streak, Orolbai lived up to the hype with a dominant performance against Serbian standout Uros Medic that ended with the Kyrgyzstani fighter scoring a second-round submission.
Orolbai managed to survive an early onslaught from Medic before taking over and mauling his opponent en route to a second-round submission victory. It was an especially impressive feat as Medic was riding the momentum of back-to-back knockouts against Omar Morales and Matthew Semelsberger.
