SINGAPORE – It certainly was not the type of debut that Luiz Dutra and Kiichi Kunimoto wanted to have. After landing five elbows in the clinch, three of which seemed to be directly to the back of Kunimoto’s head, Dutra was disqualified in the first round and left the octagon in frustrated tears. Referee John Sharp halted the fight at 2:57 of the first round when Kunimoto said he couldn’t continue. The welterweight bout was part of the main card of today’s UFC Fight Night 34 event at Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Centre in Singapore. It streamed on the UFC’s new Fight Pass digital network. Dutra fended off a Kunimoto takedown attempt early in the fight and was able to land a few punches in the process
