UFC Fight Night 142 took place Saturday at Adelaide Entertainment Centre in Adelaide, Australia and aired on FS1 following early prelims on UFC Fight Pass. Below is a recap of the six bouts that comprised the prelims. * * * * Kunchenko beats second consecutive ex-UFC title challenger Aleksei Kunchenk o (20-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) stayed perfect as a professional despite Yushin Okami ’s (35-12 MMA, 14-7 UFC) best efforts. The Russian shut down Okami’s takedown attempts with greater and greater ease as the fight wore on, and found increasing opportunities to sting Okami with strikes on the feet, at times staggering the veteran Japanese fighter but without ever coming close to putting him away. Instead, Kunchenko had to settle for a clean sweep on the scorecards, taking a unanimous decision victory with scores of 30-26, 30-26, and 30-27. “I am very happy that I got the win, I feel really good,” Kunchenko said post-fight through an interpreter.
