Prachnio said after the match that he felt Villanueva was getting the better of him.And so, the 32-year-old entered the second round determined to close the show. "The plan in the second round was to win the fight," Prachnio said in a statement sent to Insider."I had in my head the idea of finishing him on the second round and that's what happened. I just worked for it and kept in mind winning the second round."The first round was tough. I got my two eyebrows open. I couldn't see from my left eye for half the round, but then after the break, I was fine again."Prachnio said he could tell through the fight that Villanueva was "struggling with taking those low kicks." His team had said pre-fight that he might be tough to knockout with headshots, so they focused more on striking lower."In the second round, I hit two liver kicks and it worked," he said.Watch it right here:<blockquote class="twitter-tweet blockquote" data-lang="en" data-cards="" data-conversation="">-UFC (@ufc) <a href="https://twitter.com/mims/statuses/1408858897041997828?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 26, 2021</a></blockquote>The victory advanced Prachnio's pro-MMA record to 15 wins (11 knockouts against one submission and three decisions) against five losses.Prachnio's kick was deemed so awesome that the UFC boss Dana White awarded the fighter a $50,000 performance-related bonus.Finishing, Prachnio said: "After a few rough years in the UFC, I just got in a good winning streak, two wins, and I'm just going to keep it like that, keep winning."I think the bad times are behind me already and now it's going to be my time to shine."

"That was a good-ass kick, though."Barry kept the pressure up after the fight resumed, and even had his opponent on the floor thanks to his unrelenting striking.After almost four minutes of fighting, Barry landed 39 of his 93 strike attempts for a 42% accuracy rate. His effectiveness at stand-up was double that of Jackson who landed 18 of 37 shots (48%).Then came the weird ending because, just as Barry was seemingly set to win a comfortable round, he got himself disqualified for a gouge/rake of Jackson's eye.Watch the foul right here:<blockquote class="twitter-tweet blockquote" data-lang="en" data-cards="" data-conversation="">—UFC Arabia (@UFCarabia) <a href="https://twitter.com/mims/statuses/1517992174280863745?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 23, 2022</a></blockquote>"For tonight, I came out prepared and ready for a fight," Jackson said backstage after his win. "Again, it's a fight, it sucks."With victory, Jackson advanced his pro <a href="https://www.insider.com/category/mma" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MMA</a> record to one win against one defeat with one no contest. Barry, meanwhile, fell to four wins (four knockouts) against two losses.Elsewhere on the card, Philipe Lins out-pointed Marcin Prachnio by a slim margin of 29-28 x three, before Preston Parsons dominated Evan Elder with a unanimous decision.Amanda Lemos and Jessica Andrade fought in a unique, all-Brazilian women's strawweight fight.
