Bogdan Guskov broke into the light heavyweight top 10 at UFC Abu Dhabi, landing a vicious first-round knockout of 40-fight veteran Nikita Krylov.
Things were fairly even between the two in the opening round. That is, until Guskov unleashed a vicious straight right with just under a minute to go in the stanza, which caught Krylov clean.
Krylov desperately tried to scramble his way out of danger, but Guskov was unrelenting in his follow-up attack, forcing the referee to step in and call for the stoppage, handing Guskov the biggest win of his mixed martial arts career thus far.
