LAS VEGAS – Dave Herman landed three strikes – four if you count touching gloves with Gabriel Gonzaga. But Gonzaga had four of his own, and they were all he needed. Herman wanted to establish distance early with kicks – but then ate a right hand that led to a Gonzaga TKO win just 17 seconds into the fight. The heavyweight bout was part of today’s UFC 162 event at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. It aired on FX ahead of a main card on pay-per-view. Herman kicked to the body early, trying to create that distance he might need against the heavy-handed Brazilian. A second push-kick to the body came right after the first. But it was his third kick that led to his quick dismantling.
