3 years agoEntering his UFC 269 main-card opener on a three-fight winning streak, Raulian Paiva was unable to make it out of the first round against Sean O'Malley on Saturday, suffering a first-round TKO loss. Through nearly five minutes of action, Paiva was only able to land 11 significant strikes compared to the 39 of O'Malley. A big part of his downfall was his inability to record a takedown, failing on both of his takedown tries. Paiva is still a worthy talent to start in fantasy lineups, but against the top of the division like O'Malley, it's probably best to go with other fighters.--Matt Bricker - RotoBaller
