Daniel Spitz Doesn’t Think His UFC Fight Night 116 Bout Ended Early

September 18, 2017 | Posted by Jeremy Thomas

Daniel Spitz discussed his quick win over Anthony Hamilton at UFC Fight Night 116 over the weekend in a new interview with MMAjunkie. The highlights are below:

On his win: “I knew when he throws a right hand, his head always tends to lean forward. Me and my coach both picked up on that, and we drilled that same combination literally thousands of times. It just worked, you know.”

On Hamilton objecting to the fight stopping: “I don’t think it was early. The ref has a hard job. I’m never going to critique what he does. I hit (Hamilton) four or five times unanswered. As a heavyweight … I think that’s a good stoppage. But it’s not on me to decide.”

On why he called out Chase Sherman: “The Sherman thing is nothing personal. I like the way he fights, and I think it’d be a fun fight.”
