With a three-fight losing streak behind him, the Moldovan entered the octagon with a fierce determination. After exchanging heavy blows on the feet, Cutelaba landed a devastating right hand that rocked Boser.

Cutelaba then followed up with a takedown, and as Boser attempted to rise, Cutelaba unleashed a barrage of punches, prompting the referee to stop the fight. The match ended at the 2:05 mark of the first round.

Speaking about his victory, Cutelaba said, “This win is very sweet! I am a brutal fighter, and all my punches pack a dangerous punch. I was fully prepared for everything that Boser could throw my way. This wasn’t just any fight for me. Everything was riding on it, and I am glad to declare that ‘Hulk’ is back!”

Cutelaba is known for his go-big-or-go-home style of fighting, and he lived up to that reputation by launching powerful punches at Boser. Although Boser appeared strong in the early stages of the fight, he was cautious of Cutelaba’s thunderous strikes. However, he was only able to defend for so long, and Cutelaba soon connected with the right hand that brought the fight to an end.

With Boser cornered against the cage, Cutelaba set upon him with a series of punches, each one landing squarely on Boser’s face. Boser tried to work his way back up, but he was also taking significant damage from Cutelaba’s unrelenting assault. Eventually, the referee intervened, calling the fight in Cutelaba’s favor.

For Cutelaba, this was a much-needed win after a long drought, while Boser’s record drops to 1-4 in his past five fights. Overall, Cutelaba’s dominant performance in UFC Kansas City demonstrated his skill and power as a fighter.
