Kyle Prepolec lost by unanimous decision to Montreals Nordine Taleb

A tough night for Windsor's Kyle Prepolec.

He made his UFC debut in Ottawa Saturday night falling to Montreal's Nordine Taleb by unanimous decision.

The 29-year-old was called last minute to fight fellow Canadian Taleb after his original opponent dropped out due to injury.

Prepolec agreed to step up a weight class for the bout as well fighting at 170lbs when he would normally fight at 155lbs.

The main event, Donald 'Cowboy' Cerrone and Al Iaquinta traded bombs going a full five rounds.

In the end, Cerrone earned the unanimous decision.
