UFC Fight Night 127 results: Danny Henry stuns Hakeem Dawodu, scores 39-second tapout

LONDON – While Hakeem Dawodu is known as a dangerous striker, it was Danny Henry who landed a big right hand and then sealed the deal with a brutal choke for a quick tapout victory.

The featherweight bout was part of the preliminary card of today’s UFC Fight Night 127 event at The O2 in London. It streamed on UFC Fight Pass.

As the two felt each other out to start, Henry scored a crisp right hand, wobbling his foe and sending him to the floor. From there, Henry latched onto the neck and began to squeeze. Dawodu did everything in his power to work free, getting back to his feet but never successfully pulling away. Henry was relentless with his grip and was able to score the tap just 39 seconds after the contest began.

Henry (12-2 MMA, 2-0 UFC) has now won five straight, while Dawodu (7-1-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) falls short in his promotional debut.
