The UFC light heavyweight championship stayed with Alex Pereira at UFC 300 with a first-round TKO win over Jamahal Hill to close out the landmark event from Las Vegas.
Once again Pereira used his superior striking and one-punch power to put someone away.
Hill landed a kick on the beltline. Referee Herb Dean went to check if he had been hit below the belt but Poatan waved him off just before clipping Hill with a left hook, flooring him and following up with strikes on the ground to end the fight early.
The win gives the light heavyweight division a little bit of stability.
