1 month agoJoel Alvarez picked up a third-round knockout win over Elves Brenner to open up the main card of UFC Abu Dhabi. Alvarez was ending a year-long layoff and he dominated the fight from start to finish. The Spaniard dominated the fist round, as he outstruck Brenner 39-to-15. He nearly finished Brenner on the ground, and the second round was much of the same as he outstruck Brenner 32-to-18. In the third round, Alvarez continued to piece up Brenner and eventually dropped him with a knee and finished him off with ground strikes. With the win, Alvarez is now 6-2 in the UFC and should get a ranked opponent next time out.--Cole Shelton
