Waldo Cortes-Acosta puts an end to Robelis Despaigne's hot streak of first-round finishes.
High expectations surrounded the UFC heavyweight skyscraper, who stands at 6'7" and has a reach of 84.0", especially after his first-round KO in his promotional debut at UFC 299. Cuba's Despaigne looked to build off that momentum in his return at UFC St. Louis, where he took on fellow Carribean native Waldo Cortes-Acosta.After five consecutive first-round finishes, Despaigne finally faced adversity.
It wasn't the exciting heavyweight showdown we expected but a lopsided wrestling clinic from Cortes-Acosta instead as he landed ground and pound from the full mount position late into the fight. Cortes-Acosta's efforts over three rounds earned him the unanimous decision victory.
