Mohammed Usman loses to Mick Parkin
Usman got a good hold of Parkin early, knocking the British fighter backward against the fence. Despite this, Parkin bounced back and managed to withstand Mohammed's insane attack.
For the majority of the last round, there were 50/50 striking exchanges, with Parkin landing most of his strikes through leg kicks.
Usman's single, powerful right hand only managed to snap Mick's head back.
It appeared that Mohammed had caused more harm through one round, even though it was close.
But one minute in, Parkin scored the first huge right of the second round, smashing Usman just behind the ear.
Despite Usman cutting Mick's forehead once, it was still difficult for either man to distance himself from the other during their violent clashes.
Mohammed demonstrated effective body punching, a new facet of his technique. They might have been tied going into the third round of cards.
Usman appeared to have slowed Parkin down a little bit in the third round, as he made significant progress on the Brit's body.
Despite this, Mick continued to fight, keeping up with a fighter who was pushing forward a lot.
Usman's initial surge of energy appeared to have decreased, but in the second half of the last round, he still appeared to be making the bigger strokes and throwing with greater intensity.
Mick finished the battle with a few hard punches, and it must have been enough to convince the judges because all three handed him the victory with a score of 29-28, maintaining his perfect record and stopping Usman's run of three consecutive UFC victories.
