Chris Wade never let his foot off the gas pedal when he completely smothered Octagon newcomer Mehdi Baghdad in a Lightweight contest on the FOX Sports 1 "Prelims" portion of the UFC Fight Night 81 card tonight (Sun., Jan. 17, 2016) in Boston.

The New York wrestler came into his meeting with "The Sultan" a red-hot winner of his last five outings, while Baghdad brought a long resume of finishes into this encounter.
