LAS VEGAS – Fighting for the second time in less than a month probably wasn’t the reason for Danny Downes’ loss to fellow lightweight Jeremy Stephens.
Instead, Stephens’ veteran experience, quick hands, violent combinations and dominating top game were just too much for the Duke Roufus-trained youngster to handle.
The bout was the featured attraction on the preliminary card of Saturday’s UFC event, The Ultimate Fighter 13 Finale. It headlined the night’s free Facebook stream.
