Batraz Agnaev became the ACB light heavyweight champion on Saturday night in Sheffield with a second-round knockout of UFC veteran Thiago Silva.

The crowd at the Sheffield Arena witnessed nine stoppages on the night, with only three fights forcing the judges to be called into action.

ACB announced their intention to pay out $5000 bonuses for stoppages last month and it certainly seemed to add a lot of incentive for the fighters who took to the cage on the night.

Agnaev brought Silva to the canvas twice with his right hand before he eventually finished him with grounded shots with 90 seconds left in the second round.
