The co-main event for UFC Fight Night: Lewis vs. Hunt witnessed the #8 middleweight Derek Brunson run through the #15 ranked middleweight Daniel Kelly in front of the Auckland crowd. Brunson started with a patient approach, opposed to his usual berzerker style, and when he saw his opening, Brunson uncorked a thumping left cross that sent Kelly crashing to the canvas.
Brunson followed up with some academic ground strikes, and the referee stepped in to rescue Kelly.
Round 1 - Brunson pawing with the jab. He kicked Kelly right in the knee brace. Landed to the same spot again. Kelly trying to close the distance. Brunson with a double jab and a huge straight right! Kelly is down and Brunson pounds him out. Wow.
