Colby Covington was well on his way to a commanding decision victory at UFC Fight Night 89 when he decided to seal the deal early.
After dragging UFC newcomer Jonathan Meunier around the cage for two rounds, Covington bashed him with a spinning back fist in Round 3. He promptly took the back of the dazed Meunier to score the tapout with a rear-naked choke.
