Duane Ludwig and Nick Osipczak battled for 15 minutes Saturday at UFC 122, with Osipczak hurting Ludwig early on but then tiring out as the fight wore on, and Ludwig walking away with a hard-fought split decision.
An emotional Ludwig dedicated the fight afterward to his newborn son — whom Ludwig hasn’t met, because he’s been in Germany getting ready for the fight.
“I had my little boy three days ago, Little Duane Bang Ludwig,” he said after the fight. “I love you, buddy. I can’t wait to meet you.”
