Buentello TKOs McSweeney via body punches, Legacy 22
At 39 years old, Paul Buentello (33-15) is now riding a four-fight win streak. Fighting at 205 pounds for the first time in his career, “The Headhunter” earned a second-round TKO of fellow UFC veteran James McSweeney (11-11).
McSweeney looked to strike in the second, and he chopped the legs early in the round. But just as he seemed to be gaining control, a tired takedown attempt saw him topple to the canvas, and Buentello again seized the opportunity, leaping forward with a crushing right to the body that forced McSweeney to double over in pain, ending the fight at the 2:44 mark of the round.
