Khaos Williams
The Oxfighter
USA
Dominated by Andreas Gustafsson
Williams lost to Andreas Gustafsson via unanimous decision (27-30, 26-30, 26-30) at UFC 316 on Saturday in Newark, New Jersey.
ANALYSIS
Williams was scheduled to face Albert Tadevosyan last week before that fight fell through. He agreed to face Gustafsson here, who also had a bout cancelled last week, and probably wishes he hadn't. Khaos was completely neutralized by one of the most aggressive fighters we have seen in recent memory. He gave up eight takedowns and 9:34 worth of control time and had zero notable offensive moments. Simply put, he was broken. Khaos has now dropped two straight and needs to dig deep to find a victory his next time out.
