France
Wins UFC debut in home country
Sola defeated Rhys McKee via TKO (strikes) at 2:02 of Round 3 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Paris.
ANALYSIS
A native of France and former standout in the Ares promotion, Sola had a ton of support for his UFC debut and put forth a strong showing. He got the better of the uber-tough McKee on the feet, highlighted by a Round 3 knockdown. Sola also showed off some of his grappling skills by landing a takedown and picking up 3:05 worth of control time. It was a strong all-around effort. A natural lightweight, Sola accepted this fight at 170 pounds. Expect him to drop back down to 155 pounds his next time out.
