UFC Abu Dhabi: Rizvan Kuniev Crashes Through Tyrell Fortune with Knees

Heavyweight Tyrell Fortune made a memorable UFC debut earlier this year, defeating ranked Polish standout Marcin Tybura (the scores were originally read in favor of Tybura, with Fortune being brought back into the cage for the correction).

At UFC Abu Dhabi on Saturday, he had his second assignment against ex-Eagle FC champ and PFL heavyweight Rizvan Kuniev, ranked one spot ahead of Fortune at #8.

Fortune found some success with outside leg kicks early, and followed it up with a right hand that hit the mark. Kuniev appeared unfazed, reset, and started walking Kuniev down. He’s eventually clinch up with Fortune, getting several shots in before the break. Fortune fired a head kick that was blocked; Kuniev landed a kick of his own to the body. A running knee from Kuniev was explosive, but moments later, another Fortune right hand connected. Kuniev fired a spinning back first to the body, and Fortune was hurt! He covered up, and managed to block a knee to the body that might otherwise have spelled disaster.
