Michal Oleksiejczuk was able to outlast Chidi Njokuani at UFC Fight Night 225.
Oleksiejczuk (19-6 MMA, 7-4 UFC) vs. Njokuani (22-10 MMA, 2-3 UFC) was a wild affair while it lasted. Njokuani showed off his muay Thai early, punishing Oleksiejczuk with devastating knees to the body in the clinch, as well as a low kick which had Oleksiejczuk in trouble.
But once Oleksiejczuk was able to land the takedown, he capitalized by finishing a tired Njokuani with ground and pound to score the first-round TKO at the 4:16 of Round 1 Saturday at Singapore Indoor Stadium in Singapore.
