UFC Fight Night: Erick Silva vs. Josh Koscheck full fight video highlights

Bloody Elbow 2.0 | Anton Tabuena

The co-main event of the UFC Fight Night 62 event featured a welterweight match-up between veteran Josh Koscheck and Brazil’s Erick Silva.

Check out Dallas Winston’s play-by-play for the fight below:

Silva pounces and lands in Koscheck’s closed guard, throwing short elbows to the face and body. Koscheck boots him off and creates enough space to scramble free. Silva whiffs on a spinning kick but surprises Koscheck with another rugged left hand. Now it’s a front kick to the body for Silva. Koscheck slips the next left but can’t find his right-hand counter. Koscheck slips while pressuring with punches and Silva dabs him up with a clubbing right hook. Koscheck stumbles and clinches out of desperation, allowing Silva to capitalize on his poor head position by falling back for an arm-in guillotine. The tap comes quickly after.
