A flurry of follow-up punches sent Brunson to the ground before Whittaker forced the stoppage with hammer punches.[Brunson] hits hard, very hard. His other opponents will testify to that, Whittaker said. But I hit hard, too. Im just as fast, and Im just as strong. If you come at me with holes in your plan, Im going to take it from you.The loss snapped a five-fight winning streak for Brunson, who was 7-1 in the UFC entering the bout.
