Flurry of punches from Yanez and Kelley looks dazed. Yanez recognizes it and unleashes again, but Kelley is throwing back and it’s getting a bit wild out there.
The action flows across the Octagon with Kelley wearing a fair amount of damage on his face already and Yanez is really going for finish now, landing a series of big right hands that wobbles Kelley again, with more punches behind it sending him to the mat.
Yanez is standing over him now and continuing to land accurate, damaging blows until the ref dives in to save his opponent from further punishment for a TKO finish at 3.49mins of the first round.
Another impressive win for Yanez, his fifth in a row since joining the UFC!
