Drops unanimous decision in UFC debut
Sekulic was defeated by Ramazan Emeev via unanimous decision (28-29, 27-30, 26-30) at UFC Moscow on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Sekulic didn't mount much offense in his debut. He was on his back foot for the majority of the match and didn't land many strikes. He got 3 takedowns, but Emeev was able to roll through them by attempting a kimura each time. It was a very underwhelming debut and Sekulic may have had Octagon jitters. Hopefully he is more aggressive in future fights.
