UFC 201 results: Jake Ellenberger blitzes Matt Brown, scores first round upset via liver kick

No. 9-ranked Welterweight contender Matt Brown was out to begin his journey back to the top of the 170-pound ladder at UFC 201 tonight (Sat., July 30, 2016) inside Philips Arena in Atlanta, Ga., taking on the struggling Jake Ellenberger, who has lost five of his last six matches inside the Octagon dating back to July 2013.

Make it five of his last seven, as Ellenberger was able to score the upset -- and improbable first round finish -- of one of the division's most durable veterans.

Ellenberger came out hot, drilling Brown with a huge right hand that sent him crashing to the canvas immediately.
