RIO DE JANEIRO – If Viscardi Andrade was looking to make a big first impression in his UFC debut, consider it done. The Brazilian opened up Saturday’s card with a 96-second TKO win against Bristol Marunde, putting together a 1-2 combination to get things started, then kept the pressure on the American until he got the stoppage. The welterweight bout took place today at UFC 163 at Rio de Janeiro’s HSBC Arena. It streamed on Facebook ahead of additional prelims on FX and the pay-per-view main card. The two felt each other out early, jabbing and kicking. But then Andrade put together a perfectly placed left-right combination, with the massive right hand dropping Marunde to his knees. Andrade followed him quickly, and looked to lock up a guillotine choke on the ground. Marunde tried to recover in the ground scramble, and though he briefly got closer to his feet, Andrade dropped him again

UFC 163′s Bristol Marunde: Full training camp is a luxury I can only now afford

There are certain risks involved with taking a fight on short notice, and UFC middleweight Bristol Marunde knows them as well as anyone. Over the past two years, Marunde has had the opportunity to compete under the bright lights of the Strikeforce and UFC banners. However, in his two fights with the organizations, he had a minimal amount of time to prepare due to the fact he stepped in on very short notice. At UFC 163 tonight, though, Marunde feels he will finally get the chance to showcase his full skillset, backed by the preparation of a full training camp. “Training camp is one thing that has been a huge difference for this fight,” Marunde told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio). “My last two fights were called on a week’s notice, and it’s hard to prepare.” Most MMA fighters do their best to keep in shape year-round so that when they do get the call for a short notice fight, they are ready to make the very best of the opportunity
