Zak Cummings presented Nicolas Dalby with a set of problems he could not solve.
Clubbing left hands, overwhelming pressure and veteran savvy carried Cummings to a unanimous decision over the former Cage Warriors Fighting Championship titleholder in the featured welterweight prelim at UFC Fight Night “Rothwell vs. Dos Santos” on Sunday at Zagreb Arena in Zagreb, Croatia. All three cageside judges saw it 30-27 for Cummings (19-4, 4-1 UFC), who replaced an injured Bartosz Fabinski on short notice. Sherdog scored it 30-27, 30-27 and 30-27 for Cummings.
Cummings set the tone with a strong first round -- he dropped the Dane with a right uppercut-left hook combination -- and never looked back.
