Bobby Nash and Li Jingliang kept the action rolling for “UFC on FOX 23” with their welterweight bout that aired on FS1. The opening round saw both Nash and Jingliang fire off strikes at an alarming pace and once the fighters escaped the first, the pace slowed down greatly in the second.
Nash wanted no part to do with Jingliang standing so he shot for a takedown early and worked hard to complete it. While he didn’t get the takedown, he did dictate the pace of the second round and managed to break down Jingliang’s gas tank. That wasn’t enough, however, as Jingliang knocked him out cold in the second with a massive right hand and follow up shots.
