Brunno Ferreira Finishes Phil Hawes in Opening Round with Brutal Knockout: UFC Vegas 84 Highlights

Brazilian knockout artist Brunno Ferreira got back into the win column with a highlight-reel-worthy knockout of Phil Hawes at UFC Vegas 84.

Looking to bounce back from his first career loss against Nursulton Ruziboev over the summer, Ferreira delivered a spectacularly brutal finish in his main card clash with Phil Hawes on Saturday night. Tagging ‘No Hype’ with a solid flying knee, Ferreira has his opponent clearly compromised, but that didn’t stop Hawes from moving forward and attempting to keep things competitive.
