Ethyn Ewing
USA
Wins on 48 hours' notice
Ewing defeated Malcolm Wellmaker via unanimous decision (30-27, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC 322 on Saturday in New York City.
ANALYSIS
Ewing accepted this fight 48 hours ago following the withdrawal of Cody Haddon (foot). He was asleep at the time and said he had about 40 missed calls and then drove all around Los Angeles to get his medicals in order. He flew across the country and then set about picking Wellmaker apart as a +400 underdog. Ewing stayed aggressive the entire way, getting in Malcolm's face and making him work. He was also the much better conditioned athlete, which perhaps shouldn't come as much of a surprise considering he fought last week, winning via knockout in just over four minutes. Ewing earned a ton of fans with this performance, and we should see him back in the Octagon in short order.
