Benoit Saint-Denis only needed one punch to finish Beneil Dariush to kick off the UFC 322 main card.
Dariush came right out the gate, landing a big calf kick that took Saint-Denis off his feet. That prompted Dariush to rush in, looking for an early finish. Instead, it was the ‘God of War’ who would finish things over, connecting with a left hand over the top that landed on Dariush’s temple, sending him crashing to the canvas face-first.
As referee Herb Dean called for the stoppage, Dariush regained consciousness and immediately questioned the stoppage, completely unaware of what had just transpired.
