Rodrigo Sezinando's TUF 33 welterweight final against Daniil Donchenko was delayed by an injury and finally took place at Noche UFC. Sezinando, a Brazilian training in Canada, had held Samourai MMA and BFL titles. Donchenko, from Ukraine, had previously won a Naiza FC regional title. Donchenko opened quickly with lateral movement and blitzes, landing counter elbows that cut Sezinando. Donchenko secured a takedown and landed a heavy knee to the body. Sezinando pressed back and forced a sloppy shot, but Donchenko stuffed a takedown then landed a brutal combination and a crushing right that dropped Sezinado. Donchenko finished with ground-and-pound and won by TKO at 4:27 of round one.
"Round one started with a quick start from Donchenko. Dipping off to the side and throwing in blitzes. Sezinado though, landed a counter right and blasted through with a takedown attempt. Donchenko was able to defend the takedown and landed an elbow off the break. You can see the blood stream from the face of Sezinado from a nasty elbow he took early in the round."
"Donchenko then hit a clean takedown and punished Sezinado with a heavy knee to the body as he tried to stand. Battered but undeterred, Sezinado kept charging forward, forcing Donchenko into a sloppy shot. Sezinado looked for his own takedown, but Donchenko stuffed it and unleashed a brutal combination. Every punch landed, capped off by a crushing right hand that dropped Sezinado. Donchenko swarmed with ground-and-pound until the referee waved it off."
