DENVER – What Nik Lentz apparently needed was a 10-pound change of scenery.
After a three-fight skid – though one was overturned to a no contest – at lightweight, Lentz dropped to featherweight for the first time and dominated Eiji Mitsuoka on his way to a first-round TKO.
The featherweight bout opened up the preliminary card of Saturday’s UFC 150 event at Pepsi Center in Denver. The fight streamed on Facebook prior to prelims on FX and a main card on pay-per-view.
