Ike Villanueva picked up his first UFC win Wednesday – and it was one for the highlight reel. With his back potentially up against the wall, Villanueva (16-11 MMA, 1-2 UFC) landed a massive overhand right early in Round 2 that floored and disoriented opponent Vinicius Moreira . As Moreira (9-5 MMA, 0-4 UFC) hit the canvas and the referee analyzed the situation, Villanueva blessed himself and pointed to the sky. In case there was any doubt the fight was over, referee Jason Herzog waved off the bout 39 seconds into the second round. Villanueva, 37, punched his ticket into the win column after back-to-back losses to kick off his UFC tenure.
