Robert Whiteford grinded his way to a split-decision win over Kane Mousah in the main event of ACB 87 on Saturday night in Nottingham.
The UFC veteran and the UK prospect shared an intense face-off at the event’s weigh-in the day before, but Whiteford’s ability in the clinch didn’t allow Mousah to let his hands go as he would have liked.
“The Hammer” glued himself to the All Powers fighter for the first two rounds. The Scot forced Mousah to carry his weight, but “The Danger” still appeared to be the fresher fighter in the final round when caught Whiteford flush with a left hand in the final two minutes.
