Kennedy Nzechukwu mounted a comeback Saturday at UFC 288 in order to defeat Devin Clark in thrilling fashion.
In a light heavyweight prelim at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J., Nzechukwu (12-3 MMA, 6-3 UFC) turned the tables on Clark (14-8 MMA, 8-8 UFC) to win by technical submission due to standing guillotine choke in the second round.
As he’s done often throughout his career, Nzechukwu overcame adversity to storm back and win. In the first round, Nzechukwu covered up after a stunning Clark punch. With his back up against the fence, Nzechukwu utilized the clinch to escape the onslaught and nearly finish Clark with repeated elbows.
