Local phenom Marc Diakiese had a thrilling UFC debut when he rallied from a nearly-dreadful opening round to stop Poland’s Luasz Sajewski in the second.

Diakiese ran right into a takedown seconds into the match but he was able to stave off the grappler’s attacks and eventually turn the tides. When the second frame began, “Bonecrusher” had already calmed his nerves and proceeded to pick “Wookie” apart on his feet. With excellent strike placement, Diakiese wore Sajewski down, rocked him and then pounded on him until he took a knee, prompting referee Leon Roberts to intervene at the 4:40 mark.
