Ethyn Ewing delivered one other lights-out efficiency in his sophomore look, handily defeating Rafael Estevam at UFC Vegas 115 on Saturday.
It was a tightly contested battle in spherical one, with each fighters discovering their moments. Two minutes into the scrap, Estevam shot in for his first takedown try of the struggle, however Ewing fended it off brilliantly. That pattern would proceed as Ewing exhibited wonderful takedown protection by way of the stanza.
However simply when it appeared Estevam would get out of the primary spherical with a transparent 10-9 on the scorecards, Ewing linked with a left hand close to the fence that put the Brazilian on the mat. Sadly, there wasn’t sufficient time to safe a end, however the second clearly shifted the momentum into Ewing’s favor.
A minute into the second, Ewing landed an enormous proper hand. Estevam seemingly had no reply for the following onslaught because the injury began to construct.
With a minute to go within the spherical, Ewing dropped one other booming proper hand that had Estevam on wobbly legs. Estevam shot for a desperation takedown, however Ewing sprawled with ease and walked into spherical three with a really clear 20-18 lead.
After a dominant second spherical, it was only a matter of time earlier than Ewing would lock in his first end contained in the Octagon. The second got here simply previous the 90-second mark when Ewing uncorked a liver shot that folded Estevam and compelled the referee to step in.
Official Consequence: Ethyn Ewing def. Rafael Estevam through TKO (strikes) at 1:44 of Spherical 3.
