On Saturday night, the UFC took over the small border town of Hidalgo Texas with UFC Fight Night 94.<\/p>\n
In the main event of the evening, Michael Johnson dazzled<\/a> with a first-round knockout of streaking contender Dustin Poirier. In the night’s co-main event, rising middleweight Derek Brunson scored a similarly emphatic win<\/a>, leveling the hot-and-cold Uriah Hall with a thudding left hand against the cage. The end\u00a0occurred at the 1:41 mark of the first round, making the co-main event just 6 seconds longer than the main event.<\/p>\n Brunson’s TKO\u00a0win marks the end of several months of trash talk with Hall, throughout which the two middleweights accused each other of everything from performance enhancing drug use<\/a> to “weak-mindedness<\/a>.”<\/p>\n Here’s how the MMA community reacted to the loss, offering up commentary on Brunson’s newfound\u00a0punching power, and the fact that referee Herb Dean might have forced the stoppage\u00a0a little bit earlier than necessary.<\/p>\n Hahahaha I don't even need to respond to certain people when they talk shit.<\/p>\n — michael (@bisping) September 18, 2016<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
