Francisco Trinaldo gave himself an early birthday present earlier tonight (Sun., Aug. 23, 2015) at UFC Fight Night 74, scoring a huge upset victory by finishing Chad Laprise in the first round by technical knockout.
"Massaranduba" -- who will turn 37 on Monday -- landed a well-placed left hand that dropped the previoulsy undefeated Laprise and finished him up on the ground soon after inside SaskTel Centre in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada.
The fight opened with both fighters exchanging in the pocket and was very competitive. Then, with about three minutes remaining, Trinaldo connected with a left hand that dropped Laprise.
