🇨🇦 Gavin Tucker looked impressive in stopping Justin 'The Guitar Hero' Jaynes in the third round on a ufc Fight Night card Saturday.

The 34-year-old from Ship Cove, N.L., who fights out of Halifax, used his striking skills to soften up Jaynes before submitting him at 1:43 of the final round via a rear-naked choke.

Tucker used kicks early to keep the hard-hitting Jaynes at distance. And he looked good as the round wore on, hitting Jaynes with combinations — until Jaynes felled Tucker out of the blue with a left uppercut with 90 seconds remaining. Tucker outstruck Jaynes in the second round with the American’s face showing damage. Jaynes lost his mouthpiece during one exchange and the round ended with Tucker battering Jaynes at the fence.

“Once we hit the mat, I felt really comfortable,” said Tucker. “But he’s tough though, he knew I was coming for him. And honestly, he hits with rocks. This guy’s a big swinger.”
