— FOX Sports: UFC (@UFCONFOX) May 8, 2016 Chris Wade ran out of gas against the wrong man.Rustam Khabilov utilized repeated takedowns and vicious ground-and-pound in claiming a unanimous decision over Wade at UFC Fight Night “Overeem vs. Arlovski” on Sunday at Ahoy Rotterdam in Rotterdam, Netherlands. All three cageside judges scored it for Khabilov (19-3, 5-2 UFC): 30-27, 29-28 and 29-28. A jumping switch kick from Wade floored Khabilov in the second round but only seemed to light a fire under him. The 29-year-old Russian swept into top position, threatened with a triangle choke and later escaped to his feet and landed a takedown. Round three was all Khabilov. A replacement for the injured Rashid Magomedov, he grounded the visibly fatigued Wade repeatedly and battered him with vicious ground-and-pound, leaving no doubt as to who was superior. The loss snapped a six-fight winning streak for Wade (11-2, 4-1 UFC).

In his first appearance since October 2014, Cedenblad (14-4, 4-1 UFC) finished it 47 seconds into round two. Troubled by the Swede’s length, McLellan (13-4, 1-2 UFC) circled on the perimeter and looked for openings he never found. Cedenblad sat him down with a counter right hand in the first round and did even more damage in the second, where he connected with a partially blocked head kick that seemed to short circuit McLellan. Cedenblad then cut loose with 10 unanswered uppercuts that resulted in the stoppage.
