Brian Ebersole had a tough fight against rising Russian talent Omari Akhmedov at UFC Fight Night 68 on Saturday night in New Orleans. Akhmedov blasted Ebersole’s lead leg with kicks throughout the opening five minutes of their bout, and before the bell could sound to start round two, the fight was over.
