"McConico might have otherwise gone the Contender Series route, but with the card falling apart minute by minute a week or two back, the UFC booked the match-up on short notice."
"When round two got underway, Eric McConico was already more aggressive than he was in round one. Perhaps too willing to engage, as he was clipped with a right hand dropping him."
In a middleweight bout at UFC Seattle, newcomer Eric McConico faced Nursulton Ruziboev. Despite a slow start that saw limited activity, McConico's aggression increased in the second round. Unfortunately, he was caught by a right hand from Ruziboev, leading to a TKO finish early in the round. McConico's call-up to the UFC was unexpected, as he prepared for a match when circumstances allowed an immediate fight, showcasing the importance of readiness in the sport.
