The second bout of UFC 132 featured Andre Winner taking on Anthony Njokuani in a lightweight contest. Winner entered the bout 2-3 in his prior UFC fights, while Njokuani was 0-1 in the UFC (though 4-4 in combined WEC and UFC fights).
Both fighters came out looking dangerous and composed in their standup. Njokuani connected with the first meaningful punch and had Winner momentarily stunned. Njokuani mixed it up with a nice combination followed up by a body shot, and then a spinning elbow. Winner landed a few shots of his own, yet the varied attack from Njokuani appeared more effective in the early going. The intensity of the exchanges increased as the round unfolded, Njokuani effective with an uppercut and slipping many of Winner's punches. Njokuani rocked winner late in the round and swarmed forward attacking. Winner somehow managed to keep standing after getting brutalized with punches and vicious knee strikes to the head. Winner showed tremendous heart and courage as he survived the onslaught and made it to the second round of what might have been a 10-8 beating.
Andre Winner came out and attacked in round two, but Njokuani slowed him down immediately with a stiff jab. Anthony threw a head kick, partially blocked, but demonstrating again his more effective and unpredictable standup game. A sweet combination left Winner staggering and up against the fence again. Winner broke free, Njokuani landed a good punch to the body, and briefly landed a takedown. Winner landed a nice left hook and Njokuani whiffed on an uppercut counter. The pace slowed somewhat and with 90 seconds remaining in the round the fight started to look more competitive. Njokuani kept his opponent at a distance with kicks and the round came to a close.
Round three opened with Njokuani looking methodical and not over-committing, knowing he was well ahead on the scorecards. Winner threw a head kick, blocked, and Njokuani came back with a nice combination. Time ticked down quietly until Njokuani shot for a takedown with 90 seconds left. Winner stuffed it and landed a nice elbow in the clinch. Njokuani appeared content to let the clock run out without taking unnecessary risk and looked to have won a one-sided fight.
The judges scored the fight 30-27, 30-26, and 30-26 in favor of Anthony Njokuani via unanimous decision.
