Volkanovski pounds out Kasuya for TKO victory in UFC debut

An exciting Australian prospect emerged Saturday.

Alexander Volkanovski impressed in his Octagon debut by scoring a second-round TKO of Yusuke Kasuya at UFC Fight Night 101 in Melbourne. The native of Shellharbour used his concussive ground-and-pound attack to overwhelm Kasuya en route to the finish.

With a 13-1 record on the international scene, Volkanovski backed up the hype by recording his sixth straight win by knockout or submission, and his 11th consecutive victory overall.

Kasuya put in a great effort to keep up with Volkanovski's grappling, but couldn't avoid being finished. He is winless in two UFC appearances.
