Highlights: Heavyweights Throw Down In Exhausting War At UFC 225
Out of the seemingly countless amazing bouts on tonight’s (Sat., June 9, 2018) UFC 225 from the United Center in Chicago, Illinois, perhaps the most innocuous of them was the heavyweight bout between Rashad Coulter and Chris de la Rocha.
However, the fight ended up being an all-out slugfest with both fighters throwing and landing a never-ending stream of massive shots.
The action started off hot with Coulter winging haymakers:

But “The Daywalker” may have gassed himself out throwing all the massive blows, as de la Rocha got top control in the second round and began unleashing a torrent of ground and pound, forcing the referee to stop the fight and give de la Rocha an impressive stoppage victory:
