Kai Asakura got his first UFC win under his belt tonight at UFC Fight Night 277 in Macau courtesy of a 1st round KO finish against Cameron Smotherman.

Round One

Solid low kick from Asakura to start. He tries for a head kick now that comes off the guard.

Asakura surges forward with a one-two. He lands a nicely timed straight left. Punch now from Smotherman.

Jab lands for Smotherman. Asakura bursts forward and connects with a big right hook that drops Smotherman down to one knee for a moment.

Smotherman gets back up still dazed and Asakura is going in for the kill now. He unleashes a flurry close to the cage and slams a left hook home that slumps his opponent to the canvas for an impressive KO finish just 1.50mins into the opening round.
