Derek Brunson (14-3) has now won four straight fights in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) middleweight division, and you can add a third-straight first round finish to his resume.
Brunson defeated Roan Carneiro (20-10) by technical knockout at UFC Fight Night 83 earlier tonight (Sun. February 21, 2016) inside CONSOL Energy Arena in Pittsburgh, Pa.
The official time of the stoppage came at 2:38 of the first round.
The two ranked UFC middleweights shared a few good exchanges to being the opening round and Carneiro over extended on a right hand and slipped to the canvas when Brunson ducked underneath it.
