LONDON – “Hot Chocolate” leftOliver Enkamp out cold, a thunderous Danny Roberts left hand ending their contest in the first round.
The welterweight bout was part of the preliminary card of today’s UFC Fight Night 127 event at The O2 in London. It streamed on UFC Fight Pass.
Striking a wide stance, Enkamp studied from range to start, as Roberts looked to dart in and out of the pocket. After a quick exchange of punches, Enkamp drove forward for the takedown but ultimately was forced to back away and reset, which proved to be his undoing.
Robert uncorked a huge left hand, which landed flush and sent Enkamp flopping to the canvas. Roberts leaped forward and scored another big punch on the floor, but the result had already been sealed at the 2:12 mark of the first round.
Roberts (15-3 MMA, 4-2 UFC) rebounds from a December loss to Nordine Taleb, while Enkamp (7-2 MMA, 0-2 UFC) remains winless in the octagon.
