[autotag]Chase Sherman[/autotag] determined to make the most of his second UFC stint, and he got off to a good start on Wednesday.

In his first octagon appearance since September 2018, Sherman (14-6 MMA, 3-5 UFC) put on arguably his best UFC performance when he battered Ike Villanueva (16-10 MMA, 0-1 UFC) to a second-round TKO at UFC on ESPN+ 29, which took place at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Fla.

After losing five of seven fights in his first UFC stint, Sherman was gone for more than a year. He picked up a few wins outside the organization and fought in a bare-knuckle boxing bout, but he said it wasn’t an enjoyable experience.
