O UFC Fight Island 4 will not be remembered fondly by Heili Alateng. In an event held this Saturday (03), in Abu Dhabi, in addition to losing his first fight in the organization, his ribs were mistreated by Casey kenney. The wounds were caused by repeated kicks applied by the American throughout the 15 minutes of combat.

Despite the good moment he was experiencing in the UFC, Alateng was easy prey for Kenney, who confirmed his favoritism from the beginning to the end of the duel, without giving his opponent any opportunities.
And the North American did it with cruelty, as he didn't even need to apply his wrestling to dominate the fight. Using his striking, especially his kicks to the waist, Kenney punished his opponent and left impressive marks on his ribs. Upon realizing that his attacks were bothersome, the athlete did not spare him and remained hitting in the same place. Despite all the difficulties, Alateng showed value by overcoming and resisting until the end of the third round.
This was the Chinese's first defeat in the organization. Previously, he had surpassed Danaa Batgerel and Ryan Benoit, in 2019.
In turn, Kenney won his second fight in a row and is still looking to return to the top-15 in the bantamweight division (61,2kg).
