UFC's two minute, 100 punch slugfest

Like something out of a Rocky movie, two UFC fighters have gone toe-to-toe in an explosive two minute slugfest that contained over 100 punches.

Footage from the first round of the thrilling UFC 191 fight between Francisco Rivera and John Lineker shows the Brazilian Lineker back the American up into a corner of the octagon with a left hook.

With Rivera very much on the defensive, he decides attack is the best form of defence and lets his hands go as Lineker does likewise, resulting in a wild 10 seconds where fists fly.

The Brazilian won by submission once the fight went to the ground after applying a guillotine.

Fightmetric recorded that the Rivera and Lineker exchanged a 100 strikes in the fight which lasted just over two minutes.
