Kevin Christian vs. Billy Elekana - UFC Vegas 110 Highlights

Billy Elekana added a third career knockout to his resume at UFC Vegas 110, besting Kevin Christian in the evening’s featured prelim.

Christian went heavy on the leg kick in round one, causing a nasty knot on the shin of Elekana’s lead leg early.

With just under two minutes to go in the round, Elekana landed a booming counter right that caught Christian clean on the chin. Christian hit the mat, prompting Elekana to unleash a flurry of ground strikes. As Christian attempted to scramble, he gave up his back, allowing Elekana to cinch in a rear-naked choke.

Christian repeatedly tapped out, but on the opposite side of where referee Chris Tognoni was positioned. Tognoni ultimately stopped the fight after recognizing that Christian was unconscious.
