Alex Morono VS Daniil Donchenko

Daniil Donchenko made a massive statement in his sophomore UFC appearance, battering veteran Alex Morono to a lopsided unanimous decision (30-26, 30-26, 30-27). The young Ukrainian striker nearly finished the fight in the first round, dropping Morono with a thunderous left hook and unleashing a barrage of elbows on the ground. Morono displayed incredible heart to survive, but he was systematically picked apart for the remainder of the fight. Donchenko chewed up Morono's lead leg with kicks and opened a deep cut with a spinning elbow, cruising to a dominant victory.
