LAS VEGAS – In a thrilling match at UFC Fight Night 236, Hyder Amil emerged victorious with a second-round TKO against Fernie Garcia. The event took place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Let’s take a closer look at Amil’s performance, as he maintained his undefeated record with a submission win in his UFC debut.
Hyder Amil secured a decisive victory over Fernie Garcia, resulting in a TKO via punches in the second round, with a time of 2 minutes and 12 seconds. This win brings Amil’s overall record to 9-0 in MMA and 1-0 in the UFC, while Garcia’s record stands at 10-5 in MMA and 0-4 in the UFC.
One of the key statistics of the fight was Amil’s dominance in strikes, outstriking Garcia 109-31, ultimately leading to the TKO finish. Despite his success, Amil expressed some disappointment in allowing Garcia to take his back during the match, underestimating his opponent’s grappling skills. Nevertheless, Amil found the fight to be highly enjoyable, particularly relishing the opportunity to engage in standup battles.
Amidst the ever-changing landscape of MMA, Amil emphasized the importance of being prepared for any type of opponent. Originally expecting to face a wrestler from Kazakhstan, then a southpaw muay Thai fighter, he ultimately fought a Mexican boxer. Such unpredictability is common in the sport, and Amil ensures that he trains with diverse body types and styles to adapt to any situation.
Looking ahead, Amil aims to return to the octagon in late April or early May. As a fighter who thrives on the energy of the crowd, he eagerly anticipates the opportunity to perform in front of a live audience once again, promising to deliver an explosive and thrilling performance.
