Dalcha Lungiambula became the latest African to make an impression in the octagon on Saturday when he emerged triumphant from his promotional debut at UFC on ESPN 3. Lungiambula (10-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC), who hails from South Africa, scored a TKO of Dequan Townsend (21-9 MMA, 0-1 UFC) that came to fruition when he threw an explosive combination in the third round of the light heavyweight bout, which took place at Target Center in Minneapolis. Although the first 10 minutes of the fight weren’t particularly thrilling, Lungiambula showed why he has some hype behind him when he landed a brutal shot that dropped his opponent. He would follow up with some big punches and elbows that ended Townsend’s night. Check out the replay below (via Twitter ): Bad intentions in every shot!
