Jamie Mullarkey wouldn’t stop throwing until he was pulled off Devonte Smith to end their bout at UFC Fight Night 193.
After a first round where he struggled with Smith’s (11-3 MMA, 3-2 UFC) speed in the lightweight bout, Mullarkey (14-4 MMA, 2-2 UFC) turned up the heat in the second frame and came after his opponent in ferocious fashion.
Once Smith got hurt, Mullarkey threw an endless stream of punches, elbows, and knees until Smith fell down for the finish at the TIME mark of Round 2 on Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
