Before he even entered the ring for his UFC London match against Nikita Krylov, Alexander Gustafsson was already out. The three-time championship contender was struck by an overhand right, sending him to his knees, and Krylov then clipped him with a left hand to finish the job 67 seconds into the first round of the UFC London main card fight.
Gustafsson shown seasoned wisdom by getting back to his feet and pushing Krylov against the fence. But as soon as he relaxed, Krylov kept up the pressure, pursuing him across the octagon with additional blows. Gustafsson, who was backing away, partially deflected a head kick, but the left hook went through as he gripped one of Krylov’s legs.
