Norman Parke DUBLIN – The heated rivalry between Norman Parke and Reza Madadi didn’t quite translate into a ferocious fight inside the cage. But Parke (21-4-1 MMA, 5-2-1 UFC) managed to shut down the grappling game of Madadi (13-4 MMA, 2-2 UFC) en route to a unanimous decision victory (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) in a workmanlike effort. The lightweight bout was the co-main event of today’s UFC Fight Night 76 event at 3Arena in Dublin. It streamed on UFC Fight Pass. Madadi seemed just as fired up at the start of the fight as he was at Friday’s weigh-in, but expending that much emotional energy before the bout may have hampered his performance in it. Though he tried again and again, he was unable to get Parke to the floor for any considerable length of time
