UFC Vegas 123 video: Nasty Halloween-esque cut ends the fight
This was somewhat reminiscent of the cut Robbie Lawler suffered at UFC 189 vs. Rory MacDonald.
Halloween spirit permeated Meta APEX on Saturday beyond mere costumes. Theodor Berggren sustained a nasty gash during his bout against Rodrigo Sezinando at UFC Fight Night 292, resulting in a second-round TKO stoppage. The elbow Sezinando delivered in Round 2 led to a doctor's evaluation, ultimately causing the fight to be halted between rounds.
Berggren, a 8-5 MMA and 0-2 UFC fighter, appeared dazed like he did during his UFC 189 fight in 2015. Sezinando, the Ultimate Fighter 33 welterweight runner-up, had dominated the first two rounds on judges' scorecards, combining potent striking with technical grappling. Despite nearly ending Berggren in the first round, the horn signaled the end of the fight.
This marked Sezinando's first UFC victory, following a loss to Daniil Donchencko in The Ultimate Fighter 33. Berggren, who suffered a second-round TKO loss to Donchencko during his UFC debut, had previously defeated Theodor Berggren to snap a two-fight winning streak.
