Cody Haddon
Australia
Remains perfect in UFC
Haddon defeated Aori Qileng via TKO (Strikes) at 2:21 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Macau, China.
ANALYSIS
We've only seen Haddon three times -- twice with the UFC and once on Dana White's Contender Series -- but he's looked brilliant each time out, with this arguably the most impressive performance to date. He simply floored the gas pedal from the very start here and Qileng couldn't keep up. In a fight which lasted a shade over seven minutes, Haddon landed 57 significant strikes, two takedowns, 5:30 worth of control time, and a knockdown. It was a dominant performance on all fronts from a guy that is quickly putting himself on the map in a loaded bantamweight division.
