From the outset, Prachnio looked to land kicks from range, staying outside to avoid Knight’s power. The approach seemed to annoy Knight, but it didn’t prompt much output from the former Dana White’s Contender Series competitor. Prachnio happily chopped away at Knight’s lead leg, occasionally going high with a kick before backing out, resetting, and resuming his attack.
Prachnio did all that he needed to do and fought a smart, tactical battle against a powerful threat, getting himself back into the win column following a loss to Philipe Lins last time out. He’s now won three of his last four to cement his place in the light heavyweight ranks, while Knight suffers a third straight and is going to have plenty to answer for after this one. | Official Scorecards
