It’s not often a UFC fight ends because of leg kicks. The fact Jonathan Martinez did it against a UFC Hall of Famer likely will make it all the more impressive.
Martinez (17-4 MMA, 8-3 UFC) finished Cub Swanson (28-13 MMA, 13-9 UFC) with a second-round TKO that came after he landed three kicks to Swanson’s left leg. The first two put Swanson down temporarily. The third was enough to end things at the 4:19 mark of the middle frame.
The bantamweight bout was the UFC Fight Night 212 co-main event at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
