UFC veteran Henrique da Silva did not let the accolades of Tomasz Narkun get to him at KSW 75.
After a tough first round in which former KSW titleholder Narkun (19-8) took him to the ground and controlled the action, da Silva (19-8) pulled out a shocker in the second frame of the light heavyweight bout when he uncorked a nasty front kick to the jaw of Narkun that instantly dropped him.
Da Silva landed an additional brutal hammerfist to put Narkun on ice, giving him a third consecutive victory and putting Narkun on a three-fight losing skid.

Since parting ways with the UFC in September 2017, Henrique da Silva has had an up-and-down run. He went 4-4 in his first eight appearances outside the promotion, but has since reeled off three wins in a row.
Narkun, meanwhile, came back from a 10-month layoff only to see his skid continue.
