After an all-out slugfest for the first couple minutes of the fight, Kyung Ho Kang slowed things down and it paid off for him. Kang (15-8 MMA, 4-2 UFC) was knocked down early by Teruto Ishihara (10-7-2 MMA, 3-5-1 UFC), but recovered to sling fists back and forth. But when Kang got the fight to the canvas, he was able to put Ishihara out with a rear-naked choke at the 3:59 mark of the frame. The bantamweight bout kicked off the ESPN prelims at UFC 234 at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Australia. It followed prelims on UFC Fight Pass and preceded the pay-per-view main card.
