The UFC Auckland card is in progress, and Jimmy Crute just rag dolled Michal Oleksiejczuk before pulling out a first-round Kimura. This fight was oneway traffic and Crute was the one driving. The Australian is now 3-1 under the UFC banner, and called out the promotion’s #12 ranked light heavyweight, Misha Cirkunov, in his post-fight interview. Before that, the promotion’s #14 ranked strawweight, Karolina Kowalkiewicz, was totally dominated by the unranked Xiaonan Yan. From bell to bell, Yan delivered damaging striking combos that completely shut down any offense from Kowalkiewicz. Yan owned the standup as well as the ground, earning three scores of 30-26.
