6 Takeaways From UFC Auckland
3. Ion Cutelaba Hulk Smashed A Man
This Moldovan maniac should never have lost to Jared Cannonier last time out, but he did, and it dropped him to 1-2 in the UFC. Six months of frustration over that outcome was promptly taken out on Henrique da Silva's face.
'The Hulk' put the referee to work quickly, walking across the cage to get in da Silva's face during the introductions. Cutelaba clearly had somewhere else to be, taking just 22 seconds to completely dismantle the Brazilian in a terrifying performance.
Everyone looked scared of him afterwards. Brian Stann noted, "I've got to go interview this guy," and spare a thought for the poor translator. I don't speak Romanian, but whatever this crazy man said in his interview, I'm 99% sure that's not what the translator relayed in English. I'm looking forward to the transcript of what he actually said coming out.
