(Tie) 1. Todd Duffee def. Tim Hague
UFC 102 “Couture vs. Nogueira”
Aug. 29, 2009 | Portland, Oregon
A mountain of a man at 6-foot-3, 251 pounds, Duffee entered his Octagon debut with plenty of hype behind him at the Rose Garden. He sported a perfect 5-0 record and carried the American Top Team flag. Duffee wasted no time getting down to business, as he moved on Hague, floored him with a crushing left jab and followed up with merciless rights and hammerfists. One final left hand rendered the Canadian unconscious and put Duffee in the record book. “No disrespect to Tim, but I felt like I was better in every aspect. I knew I was a better athlete. That’s not me trying to be arrogant, but there’s maybe three or four guys out there that are as athletic as I am,” Duffee said. “This week has been the least-stressful week of my last year -- no question. Finally getting to walk out there, it was probably the most calming feeling ever.”
