Marcin Prachnio (15-5 MMA, 2-3 UFC) had a rough start to his UFC career with three straight losses. But now he has two wins in a row after a brutal TKO of Ike Villanueva (18-12 MMA, 1-3 UFC) that came courtesy of a perfectly placed liver kick in the second round. A second after the kick landed, Villanueva buckled over and fell to his knees. Prachnio moved in for finishing shots in case he needed them, but Herb Dean quickly shut things down.
