UFC Fight Night 145 Results: Popular fighter announces his retirement after epic win 

#4. Gian Villante (17-10) vs. (13-2-1) (Light Heavyweight)

A powerful liver shot was all it took.

Michal was set to make his Octagon return for the first time since his draw against Khalil Rountree at UFC 219. The Polish fighter, who served a one-year USADA suspension, came into the fight on an 11-fight unbeaten run while his opponent Villante won his last fight against Ed Herman in October 2018.

Round 1: This one didn't last long as Michal scripted a triumphant comeback to the Octagon and all it took were two well-placed body shots. Villante initially looked threatening with a right hand and a few kicks but Michal connected with a perfect liver shot.

Villante dropped down to the mat and the referee stepped in to stop the fight.

Result: Gian Villante def. Michal Oleksiejczuk via KO (Strikes) (1:34, Round 1)

That was as clinical a performance as you would witness as Michal extended his incredible streak to 12 victories.
