Impact This was nearly a carbon copy of Ko's UFC debut win over Oban Elliott in June. He simply leaned on his wrestling over and over to smother Rowe. All told, Ko landed all four of his takedown attempts for 13:10 worth of control time. Ko must be ridiculously strong because neither Rowe nor Elliott came remotely close to escaping once he ended up in top position. We'll see how Ko looks when he starts going up against better competition, but the early returns here have been fantastic.
