Apparently he just got leveled by the kick & didn't get up....at least that's how both the Sherdog & MMA Weekly PbPs called it.
Sherdog
Valencia came out throwing lots of combos and landing at will. Valencia continued to control through the halfway point of round one when the Japanese fighter landed a crushing left kick to the body. Valencia crumbled to the mat and the bout was called at 2:29 of the first frame.
MMA Weekly
Valencia starts things off with a solid body kick before they clinch along the cage, trading knees. Valencia spends the next couple of minutes edging ahead with some hard punch combinations before eating a kick to the body that drops him to the mat and out of the fight, earning Maeda the win.
Must have been one helluva body kick! Damn!
