Mauricio Ruffy def. Jamie Mullarkey through TKO (strikes) – Spherical 1, 4:42
Mauricio Ruffy (10-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) lived as much as no matter hype preceded him when he took out Jamie Mullarkey (17-8 MMA, 5-6 UFC) with a first-round TKO. Ruffy largely had his means with Mullarkey within the standup for the primary 4 or so minutes. Late within the spherical, he slid for a leg sweep takedown, and that appeared to be the second his confidence went to the moon. Quickly after, he threw a leaping knee, then pieced up Mullarkey to get the end with 18 seconds left within the opening spherical of his UFC debut.
