In the second fight of the night, Illia Topuria left an impressive knockout in the UFC Vegas 16 and stretched his undefeated. The Spanish-Georgian left one of the most impressive images of the year, after liquidating one of those who had the best present. All eyes were on him, in an evening that surprised many by the large casualties that occurred thanks to COVID-19. In total, only eight contests will be held, out of twelve.
It all happened in the first round, in which the two came out to quickly exchange their best shots. Before long, blood began to appear and power prevailed. Without looking for everything to end by the judges or on the canvas, the fists of both collided many times against the face of their rival. This was exactly how the knockout came, after a hook to the liver and a terrible impact to the head of Damon Jackson, the one who was slumped and asleep.
After an image that quickly went viral on social networks, the Spaniard began by saying: “I feel very good. I am happy for this victory. I knew it would not be easy at all, but we were able to do everything we were practicing these weeks. I have the best coach and the best manager in the world. Thanks to them I am here today. They really are amazing and I thank them very much for everything they do every day. “
“I’m excited to stay undefeated and more when it comes to 10-0. You know I’m ready for anything and fight after fight I show it. I made it clear once again that I can face anyone. He was not an easy fighter and I was able to do it that way. I am really very satisfied with my present. Dana White already knows what I am capás “, closed Illia Topuria, who is excited to have a shot at the title soon.
