Atop the UFC Vegas 65 main card sat a makeshift light heavyweight main event that saw Kennedy Nzechukwu finish off Ion Cutelaba with a sweet striking sequence in the second stanza. Nzechukwu is now on a two-fight winning streak, and his last four wins have all come by way of finish.
The opening round saw Cutelaba get ahead off the strength of his grappling. He hit a few takedowns, and racked up a good chunk of control time, but he didn’t exactly cause a lot of damage.
The tide turned in the second round when Nzechukwu countered a takedown with a brilliant knee to the face.
