es to stop Derek BrunsonWith his performance at UFC 271, Jared Cannonier has cemented himself as the next middleweight title challenger. From a difficult first round to an inspired finish in which he repeatedly hurt and then stopped Derek Brunson with strikes; this mauling proves that “The Reaper” isn’t going anywhere anytime soon!
In the first round, Brunson seized control of this fight thanks to heavy investment in grappling and takedowns. Cannonier displayed impressive balance but when faced with pressure from his opponent he couldn’t keep himself from being taken down by Bronson who then went on an aggressive spree that included not only more submission attempts but also significant strikes at close range which led up to knocking down the blonde Bomber late into round one before following it up by attempting what could’ve been another difficult escape if it weren’t saved just prior time!
The final blow came when Cannonier landed an elbow off the break. It was enough for Brunson, who had been plodding and wide-eyed earlier in their fight but now found himself staggered badly by his opponent’s aggressive offense — particularly with these nasty ground pounds that made up for any height advantage or strength difference between them by using every inch of space they could on top! The corner threw in towel after one more stiff push from those painful elbows; this time it did signal defeat because there would be no coming back even if you’re still standing at some point during your opponent’s assault.
“Hey, Dana! I want that shot next!” Cannonier said in the post-fight interview, demanding UFC president Dana White’s attention. “I want that shot next! Nobody else. It’s me.”
Cannonier is a perfect 5-1 since moving down to middleweight and rides a two-fight winning streak. Brunson saw his five-match-winning career come to an end as well, but this does not seem to be slowing him down for retirement just yet!
