You would never know it by this result, but Gorimbo entered the night with exactly one knockout victory in his professional career. 32 seconds later, he had his second. Themba stepped into a massive right hand that dropped Rodriguez on the spot. He added a few follow-up strikes for good measure before referee Herb Dean could step in, but it was clearly over the second the first blow connected. The 33-year-old Gorimbo has now won two straight on the heels of a submission loss to AJ Fletcher in his UFC debut last February.
