By the Numbers: UFC Fight Night 136
If Alexey Oleynik was going to make the home folks happy, it couldn’t have ended any other way.
“The Boa Constrictor” put his stamp on the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s first visit to Russia, as he submitted Mark Hunt with a rear-naked choke 4:26 into the opening stanza of Saturday’s headliner at Olimpiysky Arena in Moscow. Oleynik, a Moscow native, has won four of his last five promotional appearances. Hunt, meanwhile, has tasted victory just once in his last five outings.
