Josh Emmett dished out one of the most brutal knockout finishes of the year against Bryce Mitchell tonight at UFC 296.
Round One:
Emmett circling on the outside to start. Emmett punches to the body. Missed leg kick from Mitchell and then from Emmett soon after.
Bit of a lull as they wait for their moment to engage. Almost two minutes down with not much happening, but then suddenly Mitchell steps forward just as Emmett launches a thunderous overhand and it knocks him out cold on the spot at just 1.57mins of the opening round!
It’s a brutal finish and unfortunately Mitchell can be seen convulsing on the mat for a few seconds afterwards. However thankfully he does then come too and is seen talking to officials, but when he gets back to his feet he’s still on wobbly legs.
