THEMBA PROVIDES THE ANSWER

THEMBA “The Answer” Gorimbo says he took the smart path to victory as he beat Niko Price on Saturday to make it four UFC wins in a row.

The Zimbabwean star was a unanimous winner in his latest bout.

“Sore body after that one but winning by any means necessary,” he posted on his social media handles.

“On to the next one.

“Four in a row in one of the toughest divisions in UFC.

“God is good. What a life, what a blessing.

“Trust me i wanted a finish in every sense and form.

“Niko was just tough.”

He said he played “Asante by Jah” as his walkout tune.

“Havapore, sandi nyore, dacha kurinakurira, warisimudzira.”

His sponsors, Mukuru, were delighted by his victory and performance.

“He did it again! Themba ‘The Answer’ Gorimbo moves one step closer to the welterweight belt with a performance that was all heart and determination.

“This victory is a testament to his relentless drive, resilience and the incredible support from his fans.

“Together with Mukuru, he’s showing the world that no dream is too big when you’re willing to fight for it.

“Congratulations, Themba Gorimbo – keep pushing for greatness.”

Price had to withstand a bit of early adversity in the opening frame, but came out unscathed.

Gorimbo took the fight to the ground about a minute in, settling on top while Price closed his guard.

Gorimbo still had some room to work but Price’s ground game was not to be overlooked.

Gorimbo found some space to posture up and let loose with some ground n’ pound later in the round, but was never close to a finish.

Round two commenced with some back-and-forth on the feet, which was fairly even.

But when Gorimbo found a takedown just over a minute in, the scales shifted in his favour.

Gorimbo was active with the ground n’ pound, but in spite of this Price escaped up to his feet.

Gorimbo would add a second takedown towards the end of the frame, but nearly overshot and didn’t have enough time to work regardless.

The third round was another dominant frame from Gorimbo, who translated another takedown into plenty of time on top.

While Niko Price would do enough off his back to prevent a finish, there was little question as to who had won the fight.

The win gives Gorimbo four straight under the UFCbanner.

Prior to Price, Gorimbo had defeated Ramiz Brahimaj — Sports Reporter/Cagesidepress.
