It was one-way traffic for Garrett Armfield at UFC Fight Night 225.
Armfield (9-3 MMA, 1-1 UFC) was all over Toshiomi Kazama (10-4 MMA, 0-2 UFC) in their bantamweight bout from the start, unleashing pinpoint combinations. Kazama absorbed a lot of punishment, but it was a right hand from Armfield which sat him down and prompted the referee to swoop in for the stoppage at the 4:16 mark of Round 1 on Saturday at Singapore Indoor Stadium in Singapore.
