In the waning seconds of an otherwise uneventful opening round of their UFC on FOX 18 bout, Rafael Natal clobbered Kevin Casey with a huge right hand to the jaw.
Casey was saved by the horn, but it didn't bode well for the rest of the fight. Natal earned his fourth consecutive victory by dominating the former RFA champ the rest of the way Saturday at Newark's Prudential Center. The bout was waved off at the 3:37 mark of the third round for the TKO.
Casey didn't appear to have the cobwebs cleared when Natal hit him with a low blow of a kick, which didn't help matters.
