LAS VEGAS – Kennedy Nzechukwu is revitalized at heavyweight.
A Fortis MMA product, Nzechukwu (14-5 MMA, 8-5 UFC) kicked Saturday’s UFC 310 prelims off with a bang at T-Mobile Arena as he crushed Lukasz Brzeski (9-6-1 MMA, 1-5 UFC) with knockout blows to stop the fight at 4:51 of Round 1.
A brutal counter combination that ended with a right hand floored Brzeski as the clock wound down in Round 1. Nzechukwu landed a few more follow-up shots from the standing position before referee Chris Tognoni intervened.
