Few lengthy suspensions followed an action packed night on the UFC’s ‘Fight Island’.
Last weekend at UFC Fight Island 5 Cory Sandhagen TKO’d Marlon Moraes to prove he is one of the next men up when it comes to competing for the UFC’s bantamweight title. The undercard of the event saw Jaoquin Buckley pull off what some are calling one of the greatest knockouts ever, over Impa Kasanganay.
