Muhammad Said
Kubik
United Arab Emirates
Statement win in UFC debut
Said defeated Dustin Jacoby via TKO (strikes) at 4:49 of Round 2 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Abu Dhabi.
ANALYSIS
A former Glory kickboxer making his UFC debut in his tenth professional fight, Said looked awesome. He masterfully managed the distance between he and Jacoby, absorbing almost no damage. Offensively, he landed the bigger blows in Round 1 before unloading in Round 2. The finish came when a gorgeous head kick found the mark in the latter stages of the frame. Undefeated as a pro with nine of his ten wins coming via stoppage (seven knockouts, two submissions), Said looks like a great addition to a light heavyweight division that needs all the depth -- good or bad -- it can find.
