Kutateladze is back! Defeats Vucenic in a gruelling fight
The lightweight matchup between Swedish-Georgian Guram Kutateladze and former Cage Warriors champion Jordan Vucenic just went down in the prelims of the UFC on ABC 7 card.
Vucenic looked calm right from the start and showed off some quick and slick boxing combinations. At the two minute mark, he dropped Kutateladze with a right hand and followed up on the ground. The Swedish-Georgian was able to survive and started to work from his back.
The second round started at a neck-breaking pace. Kutateladze found success as he started to land more shots. The pair clinched up and the Swedish-Georgian landed some good knees before stepping it up on the feet, landing a flush left to the liver.
The pair went out with all guns blazing in the third and final round but ended up in a clinch. Vucenic was looking for a takedown but Kutateladze was the one getting the advantage position on the ground. At the two minute mark, the “Georgian Viking” took the back after a creative move and started to hammer on Vucenic with fists.
After the final bell, Kutateladze stood as the winner with 29-28 on all three scorecards.
