Stand and strike with Paul Felder at your own risk.
Alessandro Ricci learned this the hard way on Sunday at UFC Fight Night 105 in Halifax, Nova Scotia when "The Irish Dragon" caught him with a step-in elbow in Round 1 that broke Ricci's nose and brought an ugly end to their lightweight bout.
Felder bounces back in spectacular fashion from a TKO (doctor stoppage) loss to Francisco Trinaldo last September and he has now won three of his past four fights. Making the victory even more impressive is that Felder is the first man to finish Ricci, a veteran of 15 pro bouts.
With the loss, Ricci is now 0-2 in the UFC.
