On Sunday night, the UFC touched down in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma with UFC Fight Night 112. The second fight of this anticipated, 12-fight event’s main card occurred in the welterweight division, where rangy striking specialist Tim Means took on Dominican-Canadian powerhouse Alex Garcia.
It was a close fight, but in the end, Mean’s rangy striking game, superior striking output, and ability to shrug off the takedown, would earn him a well-deserved decision victory.
