AUSTIN, Texas – Rodolfo Bellato delivered a Comeback of the Year contender on Saturday when he rallied to finish off Ihor Potieria at UFC on ESPN 52 . After a high-paced first round in the light heavyweight division at Moody Center, Potieria (19-5 MMA, 1-3 UFC) landed major damage in the early stages of the second round, dropping Bellato (12-2 MAM, 1-0 UFC) and hitting him with huge shots to put the fight on the cusp of being stopped. Bellato refused to quit, however, and managed to survive enough to get back to his feet. Potieria was nothing short of exhausted, and Bellato started to pour on the strikes.
