UFC 185 has kicked off with three straight finishes. The Fight Pass undercard was full of action, featuring a bevy of TKO victories including a big upset in the final bout with Ryan Benoit picking up a big win over Sergio Pettis in flyweight action. Here’s how it all went down.
Ryan Benoit defeated Sergio Pettis by TKO (strikes), 1:34 of round 2
The final main card fight ended up as one of the bigger upsets of 2015 thus far. Pettis got off to a pretty good start and probably won round one, but Benoit had his moments when the two men decided to exchange in the pocket. In the second, both threw left hooks at the same time but it was Benoit’s that connected, dropping Pettis to the mat. Benoit jumped all over him and pounded him out, then actually kicked him in the butt after the referee separated them for some reason. It was undoubtedly the biggest win of Benoit’s career, and his first in the UFC.
