UFC Fight Night 128 results: Siyar Bahadurzada KOs Luan Chagas with nasty body kick, uppercut
The second round was mostly trudging along. Then Siyar Bahadurzada kicked up the middle for one of the nastier finishes in a while.
Bahadurzada (24-6-1 MMA, 4-2 UFC) drilled Luan Chagas (15-3-1 MMA, 1-2-1 UFC) with a sick kick to the body, then an uppercut while Chagas was falling to the canvas. The finish came at the 2:40 mark of the second round.
The welterweight bout was part of the preliminary card of today’s UFC Fight Night 128 event at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J. It aired on FS1 following an additional prelim on UFC Fight Pass and ahead of the main card on FS1.
Bahadurzada kicked low right out of the gate to each of Chagas’ legs. He fired a big right hand over the top after that, then caught a kick from Chagas and used it to take him to the canvas. He stifled Chagas on the mat, but didn’t land too many big punches. Chagas took advantage and scrambled out to reverse position. He took Bahadurzada’s back, then locked up a body triangle and tried for a rear-naked choke with nearly half the round to work.
Bahadurzada and Chagas tried to trade punches in the second, and Bahadurzada wanted to mix things up with a knee to the body. Chagas threw a high kick to answer, but couldn’t land. Chagas shot for a takedown, but couldn’t land it, and Bahadurzada went to the body, then up top.
Seconds later, though, out of nowhere, Bahadurzada landed a front kick to Chagas’ midsection. Chagas doubled over in pain, and while he was falling to the canvas, Bahadurzada drilled him with an uppercut for the knockout.
Bahadurzada won for the third straight time. Chagas is back in the loss column and has dropped two of his past three fights.
