UFC on ESPN 42 video: Yazmin Jauregui blows up Istela Nunes with TKO
Yazmin Jauregui faced some adversity in her second octagon appearance at UFC on ESPN 42, but in the end she got the same result as all her other fights: A win.
After getting stunned and dropped early in the first round by Istela Nunes (6-4 MMA, 0-3 UFC) on Saturday at Amway Center in Orlando, Fla., Jauregui (10-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) turned the tide and began landing her own shots, and becoming the second strawweight in UFC history to land multiple knockdowns in a fight.
The damage began to add up in a big way by the end of the second round, and once Jauregui began to land a flurry of ground-and-pound, referee Keith Peterson stepped in and waved it off for the TKO.
