EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - Bantamweight fighter Roland Delorme stumbled and staggered like he had no idea where we was, the result of a collection of punches and knees to the head from fellow Canadian fight Nick Denis.
And yet he managed to win the UFC on Fox 3 fight . . . by submission . . . with one second left . . . in the first round.
"I was rocked, but whatever," Delorme said Saturday afternoon inside the Izod Center."I don't quit. The whole fight, I don't quit."
Delorme (8-1) regained his focus, rallied and began landing several significant strikes to the head of Denis (11-3). He eventually got Denis to the ground and locked in a rear naked choke for the submission victory just before the bell sounded.
When they showed the replay of the knees he ate with his face during his in-ring interview with Joe Rogan, Delorme ooh and ahhed with the crowd. "Ooooh! Oh man."
