On Saturday night at the Accor Arena, Brazilian fighter Kaue Fernandes, representing Nova Uniao , delivered one of the most spectacular knockouts of UFC Paris: he dismantled England’s Harry Hardwick with a brutal sequence of leg kicks, sealing the fight by TKO in the very first round. The rare and devastating performance joined a short list of only 19 finishes of this kind in UFC history.

Fernandes landed precise and powerful strikes to Hardwick’s calves.
