admin_news
Marwan Rahiki vs. Harry Hardwick had the makings off an memorable recent banger after two rounds, but then the UFC Fight Night 269 main card bout was waved off.
After Rahiki (8-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) unloaded a barrage of heavy shots over two rounds in the featherweight bout at Meta APEX in Las Vegas, while also taking some blows of his own, Hardwick (13-5-1 MMA, 0-2 UFC) was unable to make it into the third round.
Hardwick told his team his jaw was broken and he was unable to continue. The fight was waved off and Rahiki was awarded the TKO win after two rounds.

Although it was a strong showing for his debut, Rahiki admitted he wasn't thrilled with the way it unfolded and wanted to close the show in a more spectacular fashion.
"I wanted to get my win in the cleanest way," Rahiki said in his post-fight interview with Michael Bisping. "But broken jaw, got it done. But I really wanted a big knockout."
