MANILA, Philippines — Mark Striegl had a painful debut in the UFC, lasting just 51 seconds in his bout against Said Nurmagomedov in UFC Fight Night: Ortega vs. The Korean Zombie Sunday (Manila time) in Yas Island, Abu Dhabi.

The Filipino-American bantamweight contender got tagged with a counter left hook as he lunged forward against Nurmagomedov.

That immediately sent Striegl (18-3) face down to the mat, allowing Nurmagomedov (14-2) to launch a brutal ground and pound prompting referee Lukasz Bosacki to stop the fight.
