Gets right back in win column
Castaneda defeated Muin Gafurov via unanimous decision (29-27, 29-27, 29-27) at UFC on ESPN 46 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It was an encouraging performance from Castaneda in what was a wild, back-and-forth brawl. He survived some massive shots from the debuting Gafurov, which was very nice to see considering he was knocked out by Daniel Santos in his previous bout last October. Castaneda was buoyed by three successful takedowns, in addition to Gafurov being docked a point for leading with his head during a striking exchange between the two in Round 2, giving John some runway to work with in terms of the scorecards. The 31-year-old Minnesota native improves to 3-2 over the course of his first five UFC bouts.
