Following two straight losses, Derek Brunson had something to prove as he stepped into the Octagon to face Dan Kelly in the co-main event at UFC Fight Night in New Zealand.
Brunson needed less than five minutes and one devastating left hand to get back on track as he finished Kelly in emphatic fashion.
The 33-year old North Carolina native was still feeling the sting from his last fight when he lost a very close, controversial decision to former middleweight champion Anderson Silva so he took out his frustrations on Kelly.
Brunson had worked tirelessly on his striking in the lead up to this fight and he quickly established his right jab, which set up his best power punch coming from the left hand.
