Both these featherweights were making their UFC debut – Sodiq who appeared on Dana White’s TNC series while Suman competed on local circuit almost a year ago. Sodiq known for this striking and explosive punches had 5 TKO victories to his name and he did make use of those as he picked apart Suman against the cage. Heavy bombs staggered Suman who quickly began to retreat, that’s when Sodiq unleashed a barrage of punches which were not intelligently defended by the Australian. The referee saw no defense and stepped in to stop the fight. Suman protested the stoppage but it was clear that he was just eating them without any movement.
