LAS VEGAS (AP) — Chicago policeman Mike Russow stopped unbeaten heavyweight Todd Duffee with a two-punch knockout Saturday night, delivering a major upset at UFC 114.
Michael Bisping also won a unanimous decision over Dan Miller on the undercard of Rampage Jackson’s light heavyweight bout with Rashad Evans.
Antonio Rogerio Nogueira eked out a split-decision victory over game underdog Jason Brilz, while England’s John Hathaway won a surprising decision over former lightweight title contender Diego Sanchez at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in the UFC’s hometown.
Russow’s vicious right hand midway through the third round dramatically ended a fight he was losing handily to Duffee, a prospect expected to make short work of a journeyman in just his second UFC fight.
