33-year-old Brazilian bantamweight Johnny Eduardo kept longtime MMA vet Jeff Curran winless in the UFC on Tuesday night, utilizing a vicious and constant leg kick attack to earn a unanimous decision win at UFC on Fuel 3.
Curran attempted to go strike for strike with Eduardo through all three rounds of the fight, but couldn't get the range figured out until the final frame. That left him open to leg kick after leg kick from Eduardo in the first two rounds, damaging his lead leg and rendering his attempts at offense ineffective.
"Big Frog" did come back strong in the third, but it was too little too late after dropping the first two frames. He's now winless in his last six fights under the Zuffa banner, and is 0-3 in the Octagon. Eduardo now has his first win in the UFC after losing his UFC debut last August by decision against Raphael Assuncao.
