Falls in TUF 33 finale
Sezinando lost to Daniil Donchenko via TKO (punches) at 4:27 of Round 1 in the welterweight final of Season 33 of The Ultimate Fighter at UFC Noche on Saturday in San Antonio.
ANALYSIS
Sezinando showed plenty of toughness in what was a wild brawl, but he ultimately absorbed too much damage to get past the first round. He was badly busted open by a short elbow from Donchenko early on and never seemed to fully recover. While Sezinando won't earn a UFC contract this evening, it wouldn't be the least bit surprising to see him find his way to the company eventually, as many losers of TUF finales often do.
