Secures second straight win
Zellhuber defeated Christos Giagos via submission (anaconda choke) at 3:26 of Round 2 at Noche UFC on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It's a second straight victory for Zellhuber, although he had to work considerably harder here than in his unanimous decision win over Lando Vannata this past April. Still just 24 years of age, Daniel ate a huge left hand from Giagos in the early going which sent him stumbling and appeared to have the youngster in real trouble. Zellhuber managed to settle things down later in the frame before forcing Giagos to tap to a beautiful anaconda choke -- one that would go on to earn him a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus. There are almost certain to be some ups and downs along the way given Zellhuber's youth, but he's clearly a fighter to keep an eye on at 155 pounds moving forward.

ANALYSIS

Strong showing for first UFC win
Zellhuber defeated Lando Vannata via unanimous decision (29-27, 29-28, 30-27) at UFC on ESPN 44 on Saturday in Kansas City.
ANALYSIS
It was a massive bounce-back effort for Zellhuber, who needed it in the worst way on the heels of a unanimous decision loss to Trey Ogden last September in his UFC debut as a whopping -410 favorite. He entered as a much more modest -125 favorite over Vannata and performed considerably better. Zellhuber was responsible for the biggest moment of the fight with a Round 1 knockdown of Lando, but it was his activity which won him this bout. Daniel attempted a whopping 225 total strikes compared to just 91 from Vannata. Just 23 years of age, Zellhuber remains a legitimate prospect in a loaded lightweight division.
