As he did in an unsuccessful bid for the promotion’s bantamweight belt, Wineland took a big head kick in the fight’s second round. But this time, he didn’t go down, and moments later, he finished Jabouin on the canvas.
The bantamweight bout was part of the preliminary card of today’s UFC on FOX 10 event at United Center in Chicago. It aired on FOX Sports 1 after an additional prelim on UFC Fight Pass and ahead of the main card on FOX.
Wineland, a former WEC champ, crowded Jabouin to prevent the French-Canadian from doing damage with the fast kicks for which he is known. Jabouin tried to keep Wineland at bay with punches, but Wineland would not be deterred.
In the second frame, Wineland again found his way inside and delivered big combinations. But past the round’s midway mark, he gave Jabouin distance and left his head exposed. Jabouin instantly slapped him on the side of the head, but Wineland, who was wobbled by champ Renan Barao’s spinning back-kick en route to a TKO loss at UFC 165, survived.
At the two-minute mark, Wineland followed his corner’s between-round instructions and planted a straight right on the jaw of Jabouin, who toppled to the mat. Wineland pounced, first threatening with an arm triangle before taking mount and throwing heavy elbows. Jabouin gave up his back, but offered little defense as the punishment began to mount. At the 4:16 mark of the round, the referee intervened to stop the fight.
Eddie Wineland (21-9-1 MMA, 3-3 UFC) gets back in the winner’s circle after his title setback, while Jabouin (19-9 MMA, 4-3 UFC) has alternated between wins and losses in his past four outings.
