After a reasonably disastrous outing Saturday, William Knight has responded to his critics – and those still backing him. Knight (11-5 MMA, 3-4 UFC) lost for the third straight time when he was swept on the scorecards by Marcin Prachnio (16-6 MMA, 3-4 UFC) in their light heavyweight bout on the UFC Fight Night 219 main card in Las Vegas. Knight was a slight favorite heading into the fight, but was dominated by Prachnio, particularly in the standup game. Prachnio landed kicks to Knight’s left leg at will and outstruck him 79-8 overall in the fight. The live broadcast team on ESPN+ seemed perplexed by Knight’s strategy in the fight, as were the post-fight desk analysts.
