With Romero at his feet, he landed three rights to the side of the head that knocked Romero out. He landed one more nasty left before the referee jumped in and ended the fight. The bout was the first fight on the preliminary portion of the UFC 135 broadcast, and was streamed on Facebook.
What was the high spot of this fight?
The uppercut. While the finish was nice, it almost looked anti-climactic because the final shots didn't look incredibly powerful. The uppercut that floored Romero sure did though.
Where do these guys go from here?
A win by either man wasn't exactly going to launch them into the elite at light heavyweight, but Te Huna's second win in the UFC, and the demonstration of some impressive power, cemented his spot in the organization for at least a few more fights. With the UFC looking to continue going to Australia, the win could potentially be huge for him due to other Australian fighters (George Sotiropoulos, Kyle Noke) not faring as well lately. There are many possible matchups for him in such a deep division.
As for Romero, I honestly think he'll get released. His last two fights have barely gone over one minute total, and he's been knocked out in both of them. If they do give him another shot, it should likely be against a fighter that's more of a grappler and less of a striker.
Watch it now, later, or never?
Now. It was only 47 seconds long and it ended in a brutal knockout. That seems like an efficient use of your time to me.
