LAS VEGAS – Ignacio Bahamondes’ striking proved to be too sharp for Manuel Torres at UFC 306.
Bahamondes (16-5 MMA, 5-2 UFC) caught Torres (15-3 MMA, 3-1 UFC) lunging in with a beautiful pull-back right which sat him down at the 4:02 mark of Round 1 Saturday at Sphere.
Prior to the finish, Bahamondes was able to drop Torres with the same counter right, but Torres survived. However, Bahamondes’ precision caught Torres once again shortly after as “El Loco” wasn’t able to recover.
