Here's what we learned from the bout.

What We Learned About Maldonado

His chin is something else. He took multiple knees flush to his chin, but kept coming forward to deliver an onslaught of body shots.

He is force at light heavyweight. Against a more technical opponent, Pokrajac absorbed a lot of punishment, but still kept firing back.

What's Next for Maldonado

What's Next for Pokrajac

Now on a three-fight winning streak, Pokrajac needs a step up in competition. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira would be a stiff test for the Croatian fighter.
