Bogdan Guskov continues to dish out violence.
At UFC on ABC 9 on Saturday, Guskov (18-3 MMA, 4-1 UFC) pounded out Nikita Krylov for the first-round TKO stoppage at 4:18 of Round 1. The light heavyweight bout took place at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi.
The opening minutes were measured as both men relied on their technique as their guide. However, a slow leg kick from Krylov (30-11 MMA, 11-9 UFC) was his undoing. Guskov countered beautifully with a massive punch that sat Krylov down. Follow-up punches bounced Krylov’s head off the canvas.
Krylov reached for a leg, but opened himself up for more damage. Flattened out, Guskov continued to punch away until referee Marc Goddard stepped in.
Guskov, 32, has won four fights in a row since a UFC debut loss to Volkan Oezdemir. Previous promotional wins include Zac Pauga, Ryan Spann, and Billy Elekana.
Krylov, 33, has now lost two consecutive fights.
