UFC Vegas 105 video: Ode Osbourne sends Luis Gurule flying for TKO upset
Ode Osbourne wasn't having the easiest of times with Luis Gurule on Saturday. But in the blink of an eye, the penny dropped and Gurule knew he'd been in the cage with a veteran of double-digit UFC fights. Osbourne (13-8 MMA, 5-6 UFC) drilled Gurule (10-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) with a perfect left hand that literally sent the UFC newcomer flying off his feet. A few punches on the canvas later, Osbourne had what might wind up being one of the signature wins of his career. Osbourne's stoppage of Gurule, who was more than a 2-1 favorite, came at the 1:54 mark of the middle frame of the flyweight bout at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Check out the highlight from the main card below.
