Cheick Kongo subs Sergei Kharitonov at the bell in the 2nd!

What an old man heavyweight fight with both guys being wildly unable to move laterally. Kharitonov controlled the pace for most of the fight, walking Kongo down and working him up and down with the jab. It didn’t last though as part of the way through the 2nd, Kongo landed a huge shot that hurt Sergei. From there, Kongo punched on him along the fence and eventually took him down. Kharitonov, after eating some shots, got his neck snatched for the RNC and tapped right before the bell. Good thing too cause Kongo looked exhausted as hell.

Marcelo Golm stops Billy Swanson in the 1st!

Nice stoppage win for the Brazilian heavyweight. Hits a really nice knee from the double collar tie along the fence, follows it up with like 3 or 4 really crisp punches up top and Swanson goes down and out. Couldn’t ask for a better debut if you’re Golm. I maintain that Golm was a dude who got to the UFC before he was supposed to and just had terrible booking along the way. Interested to see how he develops with time.
