Tim Boetsch is well known for his knockout power, and he proved that once again with a stunning second-round TKO against former welterweight champion Johny Hendricks in the co-main event from Oklahoma City.
Boetsch has now earned knockouts in his last three UFC wins, but taking down a former UFC champion is definitely a signature win in his career.
After missing weight on Saturday, Hendricks had to know the pressure was on for a top notch performance 24-hours later, but Boetsch was a very game opponent while exchanging strikes against the former welterweight champion.
Boetsch played a smart game plan by circling away from Hendricks’ powerful left hand while firing back with good counter strikes as well as punishing shots to the body.
