UFC 318 Video: Atba Gautier Stalks and Rocks Robert Valentin for TKO

Atba Gautier has looked terrible in his UFC career.

A new chapter of the horror was written on Saturday at UFC 318 when Gautier (8-1 MMA, 2: 0 UFC) followed and rocked on the way to a TKO stop in round 1. The middleweight fight took place on the preliminaries in the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans.

Gautier's power was evident from the open exchange. He rocked Valentin (10-6 MMA, 0-3 UFC) quickly, which was then on the withdrawal while the fight lasted. A left hook, on the right upper average, over-handing right combination were the final blows that Valentin put a stamp on an impressive excursion in front of the ground and pound.

Cameroon's Gautier is only 23 years old. He won his two UFC fights from TKO in the first round after successfully debuting Jose Medina in March.
