Chase Sherman determined to make the most of his second UFC stint, and he got off to a good start on Wednesday.
In his first octagon appearance since September 2018, Sherman (14-6 MMA, 3-5 UFC) put on arguably his best UFC performance when he battered Ike Villanueva (16-10 MMA, 0-1 UFC) to a second-round TKO at UFC on ESPN+ 29, which took place at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Fla.
Sherman was a step ahead of Villanueva from the outset, and you can see how he finished the job below (via Twitter):
After losing five of seven fights in his first UFC stint, Sherman was gone for more than a year. He picked up a few wins outside the organization and fought in a bare-knuckle boxing bout, but he said it wasn’t an enjoyable experience.
Now he’s back on the big stage and got a solid win, which in his post-fight interview, compared to ordering a 10-piece of chicken wings only to receive 11 pieces.
