Welcome to tonight’s UFC Austin event, where the octagon has returned to Texas! The 12-bout fight card is headlined by Beneil Dariush vs. Arman Tsarukyan.
The highly anticipated lightweight main event was a coming out party for Arman Tsarukyan. The 27-year-old Armenian landed a big knee to punch combination on Dariush in the opening minute, sending the veteran crashing to the Octagon canvas, where Tsarukyan promptly finished the bout with ground and pound.
UFC Austin was co-headlined by a lightweight bout featuring Bobby Green taking on Jalin Turner, which resulted in one of the worst referee stoppages of all time.
