Takes debut over heavy opponent
Haddon defeated Dan Argueta via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Haddon dominated Billy Brand via first-round submission on Dana White's Contender Series on August 20 and found himself making his official Octagon debut here less than two months later. To make things even more difficult, he was going up against an opponent in Argueta who missed weight by 2.5 pounds Friday morning. Haddon looked great on the feet, dominating virtually all the striking exchanges between the two. His grappling held up to the extent that he didn't allow Argueta to overwhelm him when he ended up on the mat. All in all, it was a strong showing for Haddon when you take into account how recently he just fought combined with the weight miss of his opponent.
