A famous Ukrainian fighter lost by knockout in the first round in the UFC. Video
Ukrainian middleweight fighter Ihor Poterya (20-8) was defeated by Brazilian Marco Tulio (12-1) at the UFC Fight Night 249 tournament. The fight ended in a technical knockout in the first round.
On the eve of the fight, Poterya failed to meet the middleweight limit (84 kg), weighing 85.27 kg at the weigh-in. According to UFC rules, he was forced to give part of his fee to his opponent.
The fight took place in Las Vegas, where the Brazilian athlete won a landslide victory. The Brazilian athlete took the fight to the ground with precise punches to Ihor's head, where he simply kicked the Ukrainian. The fight ended early.
Poterya, known for her flamboyant style, failed to show the expected result this time, losing her third fight in a row.
On May 5 last year, Poteria suffered a crushing defeat at UFC 301 in Rio de Janeiro. Our compatriot was able to hold out in the fight against local fighter Michel Pereira (31-11) for less than a minute.
