Orolbai was credited with a record-breaking 19 takedowns, setting a new mark at welterweight for the UFC. He said that part of his game is a breeze.

“This is no problem,” Orolbai told MMA Junkie at his post-fight news conference. “I’m a humble fighter, but cage closes, I’m dangerous. This is no problem. Next fight, more takedowns, God willing. This is not hard. Takedowns are easy.”

The win was Orolbai’s third straight, though it snapped a streak of two straight finishes.
