Jumabieke Tuerxun will not have fond memories of his encounter with Andre Harrison.
Power punching volleys, a shut-down sprawl and well-timed takedowns paired with ground-and-pound carried the undefeated Harrison to a unanimous decision over the Ultimate Fighting Championship veteran in the Professional Fighters League 1 headliner on Thursday at Madison Square Garden in New York. All three cageside judges scored it for Harrison (18-0, 2-0 PFL): 30-27, 30-27 and 30-26.
Tuerxun (20-7-1, 0-1 PFL) was essentially a non-factor. Harrison either sprawled into top position or executed a takedown in all three rounds, short-circuiting his opponent’s efforts.
