Yves Jabouin delivered a 15-minute beating to an outmatched Jeff Hougland at UFC on Fuel 3 on Tuesday night, taking a dominant unanimous decision in a fight that should have been stopped on a couple of occasions.
Jabouin's speed and striking advantage were at play throughout the fight, and it was nearly over in the first round when he dropped Hougland with a spinning back kick to the gut. The referee looked about to step in, but backed off at the last second. Jabouin landed some ground and pound but Hougland regained his bearings.
The same thing happened in the third round when Jabouin dropped Hougland again. Hougland ultimately recovered, and survived to the end of the fight, but it was a completely one-sided fight.
The win was Jabouin's third straight since a loss in his UFC debut. For Hougland, this loss snapped a nine-fight winning streak dating back almost nine years.
