An undefeated welterweight contender made an emphatic statement at UFC Fight Night, finishing his opponent with a spectacular flying knee knockout just 47 seconds into the opening round. The victory extended his professional record to 15-0 and immediately led to a fiery callout of the division champion.
The 26-year-old fighter grabbed the microphone after the finish and demanded a title shot, declaring himself the most dangerous fighter in the 170-pound division. The crowd erupted in support as the champion, watching from cageside, simply smiled and nodded.
UFC president Dana White confirmed in the post-event press conference that the title fight is 'the one to make' and hinted at a late summer date for the showdown.
