On the UFC 230 pay-per-view main card at Madison Square Garden in New York, middleweight prospect and former kickboxer Karl Roberson scored a dominant win versus an extremely tough and granite-chinned Jack Marshman. Following that was a big upset TKO win for Jared Cannonier on short notice against top-ten contender David Branch. Here’s how the fights played out.

It only took 20 seconds for Branch to take Cannonier down, as wrestling defense is a notorious hole in Cannonier’s game. After a second takedown, Cannonier was back to his feet and landed a hard uppercut in the clinch.
