Sodiq Yusuff stormed out of his corner in the first round Saturday at Apex in Las Vegas and was instantly all over Edson Barboza. He hit Barboza was a massive right hand in the opening 20 seconds or so, then followed it up shortly thereafter with a crushing left hand.
On a UFC Vegas 81 card that had more than its share of early knockouts, this seemed like another one of them.
Barboza admitted he didn't know where he was in the first, but incredibly managed to turn it around and sweep the rest of the fight. Martinez went to the kicks early, and they were frighteningly effective. It sounded like batting practice at Home Run Derby every time Martinez connected on Yanez's lead leg.
After missing weight on July 29 against Stephen Thompson by three pounds, Michel Pereira made the decision to jump from welterweight to middleweight. He said he was cutting close to 50 pounds — 46, to be exact — to make it to 171 pounds, the non-title welterweight limit. Terrance McKinney made short work of Brendon Marotte on Saturday, hurting him with a knee in the first exchange of the fight and finishing him with ground-and-pound at 20 seconds of the first round.
