Herbert Burns nearly had Nate Landwehr in a win by submission at at UFC on ESPN+ 24 in Raleigh on Saturday night. Burns put Landwehr into an anaconda hold, which he somehow escaped to get upright.
But the fight didn’t last much longer after that. Burns stayed aggressive and active when they were standing. As the two began to throw punches, he delivered an absolutely devastating knee to Landwehr’s head. As you might expect, Landwehr went spinning to the ground, and the official called the match just moments later after Burns followed with punches to the head. It was clear Landwehr was done for the night.
It marked Burns 10th win in his 12 pro MMA matches, and his fourth consecutive.
Up next, UFC will head to the Toyota Centre in Houston for UFC 247, which will be headlined by heavyweights Jon Jones and Dominick Reyes.
