Lasts 56 seconds in UFC debut
Gimenis lost to Josh Hokit via TKO (punches) at 0:56 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
The highlight of Gimenis' UFC debut was a massive leg kick shortly after the opening bell rang. It was all downhill from there. He was knocked down twice by Hokit before being put away with a flurry of unanswered punches. Gimenis entered with all of seven professional fights under his belt, and not a single one came against even a halfway notable opponent. It's not a surprise he ended up struggling mightily at the highest level.
