Saturday, February 26th (7:00 PM EST Main Card, 4:00 PM EST Prelims) Rongzhu vs. Ignacio Bahamondes WATCH - There is no margin of error in this lightweight fight. No opportunity to take an extra second to duck or move your head. A second too late is a death sentence as Ignacio Bahamondes connects a flying wheel kick to your head. If that doesn't hype you up already, there is a deeper analytical reason to be excited for these guys. These are two incredibly young and talented fighters that took tough veteran matchups for their UFC debuts and battled it out to a close decision loss. Then immediately followed up those losses with incredible highlight knockouts, that came late in the 3rd round. That shows more toughness, athleticism, work ethic, and ability to improve than two quick knockout wins ever could. Make no mistake, these are much better prospects than the usual easy 1st round KO hype train!
