UFC Fight Night 84 Video Highlights: Two Uppercuts and a Head Kick

Steven RondinaFeb 27, 2016

UFC Fight Night 84 started off hot and heavy, died down in the middle and then closed with the super-intense main event that saw Michael Bisping edge out Anderson Silva on the scorecards.

While the main event may go down as a fight of the year candidate, there were only three finishes on the card, each of which saw relatively young talents score what could be momentum-generating wins. You can check out all three of them down below.

WOW @DavidTeymur!! What an opening fight! #UFCLondon https://t.co/Nr251NrkYP

An ugly curtain-jerker came to a very sudden ending, as David Teymur floored Martin Svensson. Svensson was in desperation mode after a rough first round and started shooting in for takedowns from an absurd distance. Teymur did not let that go on for long, though, and nailed him with a picture-perfect uppercut, finishing him on the ground with hammerfists shortly thereafter.

Teemu Packalen def. Thibault Gouti

Undefeated no more! @PackalenTeemu hands Gouti his first pro loss!! Two fights. Two finishes. Let's go! #UFCLondon https://t.co/N06OILhpfF

Teemu Packalen had a forgettable UFC debut back in July, but his sophomore effort at Fight Night 84 was a marked improvement. Shortly after the horn, Packalen rocked Thibault Gouti with a right hand, folding the Frenchman in half. Packalen followed him onto the ground, and after landing some hammerfists, sunk in a deep rear-naked choke that forced the tap in under 30 seconds.

Scott Askham def. Chris Dempsey

"

Now THAT'S a walk-off KO if we've ever seen one! Huge win for @ScottAskham1!! #UFCLondon https://t.co/xoJynL9hHz

Entering this fight, Scott Askham and Chris Dempsey both desperately needed a win. With both men heading into Fight Night 84 with a 1-2 UFC record, a loss would either push them to the brink of getting cut, or would result in a pink slip outright. Exiting the fight, Askham's job is safe, at least for a while. Dempsey's? Not so much.

After a few stop-and-go minutes of action, Askham began finding the timing and range to his striking game. In the waning seconds of the first round, he clipped Dempsey with a left hand that put him on rubbery legs and out of the fight with a lethal head kick not long after.
