Patricio Pitbull earned his first win inside the Octagon at UFC 318, outworking featherweight mainstay Dan Ige.
After spending half a round lighting up Ige’s lead leg with kicks, Pitbull shot in for a takedown, getting ’50K’ down to the mat near the fence. Ige offered up some solid takedown defense, using the cage to climb back to his feet before attempting to land an elbow on the break.
As we get into the second round, the live crowd in New Orleans is starting to grow frustrated with the lack of action, particularly on the side of Pitbull, who has been hesitant to throw anything substantial.
