UFC on ESPN 34 video: Andre Fialho scores brutal TKO, hands Miguel Baeza his third consecutive loss

Andre Fialho’s first UFC win came in impressive fashion.

The UFC welterweight picked up his first victory by putting away a tough Miguel Baeza on the main card of Saturday’s UFC on ESPN 34. Fialho (15-4 MMA, 1-1 UFC) won by TKO, stopping Baeza (10-3 MMA, 3-3 UFC) at the 4:39 mark of Round 1.

It was a bout in which Baeza shined early, connecting with good combinations that had Fialho backing up. In an exchange while clinching, Fialho hurt Baeza with a couple of uppercuts and then followed up with a series of shots that dropped Baeza.

Fialho was coming off a decision loss to Michel Pereira in January, which marked the start of his UFC career. Prior to that, Fialho was on a four-fight winning streak.

On the other hand, Baeza, who was once regarded as one of the best prospects at welterweight, is now on a three-fight losing streak. Two of the three defeats came by TKO. His last win came against Takashi Sato in late 2020, which earned him a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus.
