Some say Kennedy Nzechukwu has looked like a new man up at heavyweight, and that may have been evident with his victory over Łukasz Brzeski that kicked off UFC 310.
Nzechukwu’s striking was on display at Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena, where he landed speedy, crisp, and powerful strikes over the course of the first round.
Then, the Nigerian fighter put his opponent away in sudden fashion with a right hook with mere seconds left to go in the opening frame.
Nzechuwku Moves To 2-0 At Heavyweight With Another First-Round Finish At UFC 310
After a mixed bag of results at light heavyweight, Nzechukwu made his heavyweight debut less than two months ago at UFC 308 in Abu Dhabi, needing just one round to put away Chris Barnett.
“African Savage” was a short-notice fill-in for this fight following an injury to Tallison Teixeira.
Brzeski, meanwhile, is 1-5 since entering the UFC off a 2021 appearance on Dana White’s Contender Series.
