Eleven-year veteran Rick Glenn (20-4 MMA, 2-1 UFC) turned in one of the best performances of his career, battering a previously undefeated Gavin Tucker (10-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) en route to a decision win that probably should have been halted in the third. The featherweight bout was part of today’s UFC 215 prelims, which took place at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and aired on FS1. Tucker nearly walked himself right into a choke in the opening seconds after a spinning strike went awry, but he was able to pull free and reset to more traditional attacks. The rangy Glenn looked to keep himself at distance and strike from the outside, thought Tucker answered with wild strikes from all angles. Switching stances and darting in and out of range, the shorter Tucker did find success on the feet, keeping a high pace and constantly looking for options. That said, it was Glenn who landed the first big blow, scoring a flash knockdown with a big left hand that seemed to have a lasting effect when Tucker did crawl back to his feet
