Round two changed the momentum, however, as Pulyaev was rejuvenated, while Klein appeared to gas out from his barrages in round one. Pulyaev landed a sharp head kick and clinch knees that turned the tide, opening up a cut above one of Klein's eyes. Pulyaev then landed a strong body kick that took the wind out of Klein's sails, following it up with a pair of punches and a low kick to score the TKO.
Pulyaev made his UFC debut in March, dropping a decision to Christian Duncan.
Klein was also finished in his UFC debut in February, getting stopped by Mansur Abdul-Malik.
