Nedkov shows off brutal power in UFC 134 slugfest against Cane

Stanislav Nedkov is a tough dude and future opponents better look out for that right hand. The Bulgarian UFC newcomer was getting picked apart on the feet by Luiz Cane until he landed a great left hook and overhand right that changed everything. Cane was finished on his feet as he retreated. Twenty unanswered shots later and the Brazilian was upset on his home turf by Nedkov at the 4:13 mark of the first round at UFC 134 in Rio De Janeiro.

Nedkov looked tiny compared to the 6-foot-2 Cane and was giving up six inches of reach. The problem was, Cane kept his left hand to low. It was a matter of time before the overhand right landed on the button. Nedkov showed some gumption. It appeared that suffered a nose injury. For about a minute before the stoppage, Nedkov's output slowed down as he kept grabbing at the nose. Then came the big punches.

Cane was so out of it, he turned his back and unleashed an odd kicking motion at the cage. When he bounced off and turned around, Nedkov was there to unload with some massive left. A right hook dropped Cane and he was unable to defend himself as referee Mario Yamasaki stepped in to save. him.

Cane (11-4, 4-4 UFC) is a skilled striker, but got sloppy in this one. "Bahna" has lost 3-of-4 with the promotion. This was Nedkov's first fight in the UFC. He's a perfect 12-0.
