Jordan Leavitt responds to negativity following post-KO celebration at UFC Vegas 16: ‘Grow up’

Jordan Leavitt’s successful UFC debut left an impression on people in a big way. While it was mostly for good reasons, others had an issue with how things played out after the victory.

Leavitt delivered one of 2020’s memorable finishes when he knocked out Matt Wiman with a ferocious slam just 22 seconds after their lightweight matchup began at UFC Vegas 16. “The Monkey King” has had a high finishing rate through his amateur and ongoing pro career, but it was the first time he got his hand raised with that method of victory.
