In a battle of welterweights in desperate need of a victory, it was Jordan Mein (30-12 MMA, 4-4 UFC) who earned a dominating win over Erick Silva (19-9 MMA, 7-8 UFC). The 170-pound bout opened up the preliminary card of today’s UFC on FOX 26 event at Bell MTS Place in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. It streamed on UFC Fight Pass ahead of additional prelims on FS1 and a main card on FOX. Mein was aggressive to start, pushing forward and opening with strong kicks to the leg, leading Silva to shoot inside and try to take the fight to the floor. Instead, it was Mein who countered with a gorgeous hip toss, though Silva did scramble quickly to his feet, where both fighters threw heavy punches in the pocket.
