The UFC on ESPN 59 main card opener between Abdul Razak Alhassan and Cody Brundage ended quickly, but not in the manner anyone anticipated. On paper, the middleweight bout promised to produce an explosive result as the dangerous striker Alhassan (12-6 MMA, 6-6 UFC) clashed styles with the aggressive wrestling of Brundage (10-6 MMA, 4-5 UFC).

Alhassan countered with hard punches and elbows, rocking Brundage early.
