UFC On Fuel TV Results: Jonathan Brookins Knocks Out Vagner Rocha
Former Ultimate Fighter winner Jonathan Brookins managed to continue his impressive UFC career by knocking out Vagner Rocha in the first round of their UFC on Fuel TV bout. Rocha looked very capable of winning the fight in the stand-up early landing good left hands and looking a bit quicker to pull the trigger and avoid danger than Brookins.
It was when Vagner attempted to get a takedown that the fight turned. Rocha tried to get the body clinch and take the fight to the ground but Brookins reversed, ended up on top and quickly unloaded with a series of shots that knocked Rocha out.
It was a violent ending that improved Brookins to 2-1 in his official UFC bouts, with the lone loss coming to a title contender in Erik Koch. It will be interesting to see how the UFC wants to handle Brookins going forward.

UFC on FUEL Results: Jonathan Brookins Knocks Out Vagner Rocha
Jonathan Brookins earned his first victory since winning The Ultimate Fighter on Wednesday night's UFC on FUEL card, unloading on Vagner Rocha with several hard right hands on the ground and knocking him out in the first round.
For Brookins, who lost to Erik Koch in September, it was a big win that gets his career back on track, and he said afterward that he was delighted to beat a well-regarded opponent like Rocha.
"Vagner is super tough," Brookins said. "So I'm really thankful. ... That's just the way it goes sometimes. It could have been either one of us right there."
It didn't take Brookins long to get on top of Rocha on the ground and knock him out with vicious ground and pound, but Brookins said he isn't going to take any time to celebrate because he's going to get right back to work.
"I'm thrilled, but it's back to the drawing board for me," Brookins said. "I've got to grow and grow and grow. I'm just thrilled to be growing in this organization."
