Walt Harris vs Marcin Tybura

Harris goes for the kick and Tybura catches it helping him trip his opponent. Great scramble on the floor, but Marcin uses slide control to take the fight into his hand. Disastrous ground-and-pound from Tybura and looks like Walt is not able to get out of it. The referee looking very closely to check is Walt Harris can respond. No signs of it.

Short punches score for Tybura as Mark Smith, the referee asking Harris to move. No movement and the Mark Smith calls it off. A spectacular performance from Marcin Tybura at UFC Vegas 28. What a fight!
