Two weeks in and it looks like Team Cormier is the one that will live up to The Ultimate Fighter 27’s “Undefeated” theme.
Brad Katona defeated Kyler Phillips by majority decision on Episode 2 of TUF 27, giving coach Daniel Cormier a 2-0 lead over Stipe Miocic. The 26-year-old Winnipeg native used a steady diet of leg kicks and standing grappling control to earn 20-18 scores from two of the judges (the third scored the two-round bout a 19-19 draw).
“It feels absolutely amazing to get the win as well as come away from it healthy,” Katona said post-fight.
