As Mike Goldberg would’ve said, “just … like … that!”
UFC Fight Night 109 is taking place right now (May 28) inside the Ericsson Globe in Stockholm, Sweden. In the first bout on the UFC Fight Pass prelims, former Bellator title contender Marcin Held took on Damir Hadzovic.
Most analysts believe that Held took the first two rounds and may have been headed towards cruise control in the final frame. Instead, he ran into a vicious knee that put his lights out. Hadzovic had been searching for the knee the entire fight and he finally pulled it off.
