Russian knockout artist Muslim Salikhov delivered another jaw-dropping finish at UFC Abu Dhabi on Saturday, putting away Carlos Leal in less than a minute.
Salikhov wasted no time getting his 15th career first-round KO, blasting Leal with a nasty counter right hook that immediately sent the Brazilian crashing to the canvas.
Knowing that his opponent had nothing left, Salikhov walked away rather than delivering follow-up shots. Moments later, the fight was officially waved off, giving the 41-year-old Russian his 22nd career win and another highlight-reel finish.
Official Result: Muslim Salikhov def. Carlos Leal via KO (right hook) at 0:42 of Round 1.
