The UFC Mexico main card began with a bang.
Featherweights Steven Peterson and Martin Bravo engaged in an entertaining, high-paced bout, but it was Bravo who was getting the better of Peterson for much of the contest. All of Peterson’s fortunes changed early in round two, as Bravo threw a spinning backfist that missed, but Peterson attempted the same strike and landed flush. Instant KO.
