UFC 212 video highlights: Yancy Medeiros vs. Erick Silva

On many occasions, the smiles Yancy Medeiros flashed at Erick Silva came after he caught a good shot.

But Medeiros’ (14-4 MMA, 5-4 UFC) straight punches also scored plenty of points, and in the second frame, he landed a left hook that dropped Silva (19-8 MMA, 7-7 UFC) – and set off a minor protest following a TKO win.

The welterweight bout opened today’s UFC 212 main card at Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro. It aired on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.
