The Spanish/Georgian fighter caught his opponent with a right hand that sent him straight to the canvas in the first round. He was crowned a double champion.
Wild: Topuria’s punch that put Oliveira to sleep
Ilia Topuria predicted it would end quickly, and he delivered. A master of the strike, veteran Charles Oliveira didn’t last even a round. The Brazilian, with a record of submissions (21) in the UFC, tried to take the fight to the ground to tangle the Spanish/Georgian fighter, but it didn’t work out as he quickly received a cut in the exchange.
Once Topuria escaped the spider web, the long arms and legs of “DO Bronx” and got to his feet, the show began. His specialty is boxing, and he showed it: a left hook, a right hook to the chin that started Oliveira’s fall, and a finishing touch with another left hook. Fast, lethal, effective. A glimpse into the way Mike Tyson knocked down his opponents.
