Hamdy Abdelwahab delivered an absolutely dominant, albeit lackluster, performance against Chris Barnett at UFC 321.
Abdelwahab wasted no time shooting in, tackling Barnett to the mat, and unleashing some nasty ground and pound shots less than a minute into the first round.
Barnett managed to fight his way back up multiple times, but Abdelwahab returned him to the mat with relative ease. Taking his opponent’s back, Abdelwahab landed a blatant elbow to the back of Barnett’s head, prompting referee Marc Goddard to pause the contest.
Bloodied up and clutching the back of his head, the cageside physician was called in to check Barnett.
