Dominant grappling display in win
Park defeated John Phillips via unanimous decision (30-25, 30-25, 30-25) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Abu Dhabi.
ANALYSIS
Park is a functional kickboxer in his own right, but he knew where the danger lay in this one, as he grounded his opponent at the start of every round and looked for submissions until time expired. Park has shown an incredibly well-rounded game in his UFC tenure and will look to put more of it on display when facing an opponent who isn't quite so one-dimensional as Phillips. Park moves to 12-4 in professional MMA as a result of the victory.
