MANILA, Philippines—Mark Striegl remained winless in the UFC after losing to Chas Skelly via technical knockout in their featherweight bout in UFC Fight Night: Dos Anjos vs. Fiziev Sunday at UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
Skelly started the onslaught midway through the second landing a devastating knee straight to the face of Striegl.
Without much room to operate, Striegl got blasted on the ground as Skelly poured on the punches from top position forcing referee Keith Peterson to put a stop to the contest 2:01 into the second.
Talkin' a lil trash 🗑

The loss marked Striegl’s (18-4) second in a row with the Filipino-American fighter still looking for his first win since submitting Lee Do-Gyeom in 2018 in the Philippines-based promotion URCC.
Skelly (19-3), meanwhile, chalked up his second straight win after more than two months of inactivity.
“It feels great. This is one of those things, I plan on maybe not fighting anymore after this fight. I want to go out on my own terms. My body’s not holding up the way it used to,” said Skelly.
