Marcin Prachnio’s kicks were the key to victory against Ike Villanueva at UFC Fight Night 190.
After Prachnio (15-5 MMA, 2-3 UFC) spent a good portion of his light heavyweight fight with Villanueva (17-12 MMA, 1-3 UFC) on Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas damaging the legs with kicks, it was a pinpoint blow to the body that ended the show.
Prachnio uncorked a liver kick that quickly folded Villanueva for the TKO at the 0:56 mark of Round 2. Check out the replay of the stoppage below (via Twitter):

It’s been quite the turn in fortune for Prachnio, who started his UFC career with three consecutive losses, all of which came by knockout. He’s now turned the tide, though, beating Villanueva and Khalil Rountree in back-to-back bouts.
