Jung vs. Rodriguez.

Mike Rodriguez had lost two of three UFC fights, with last loss coming in July earlier this year. His opponent, the South Korean Jung Da Un was coming off a big win in his UFC debut and had not tasted defeat since 2015.

Round 1: They touched gloves and we got underway. Rodriguez began in his trademark Muay Thai Southpaw style.

Jung landed a few fancy jumping kicks to the body to pop the crowd. The mantra for Jung Da Un was simple - Knock out or get knocked out. And he didn't disappoint.

The South Korean came in with a lazy lead left. However, that was a diversion for a picture-perfect straight right that pierced through Rodriguez' jaw like a sniper.

Rodriguez's knees gave up and Jung Da Un went down to apply the finishing touches as the fans went bananas! Emphatic!

Result: Jung Da Un def. Mike Rodriguez via KO (1:04, Round 1)

After two laborious fights that went the distance on the main card, Jung Da Un got the fans on their feet with a quintessential first-round knockout. He is now on a 12-fight win streak. The UFC Light Heavyweight division has a serious finisher rising up the ranks now.
