Dustin Jacoby has just pulled off an absolute shocker of a result.
Jacoby needed just one punch to pull off a third-round knockout of Vitor Petrino during the main card of UFC Tampa.
The fight featured plenty of back and forth from both men. They looked to stay patient, but the Brazilian was arguably landing the more effective strikes.
But just when it looked like he would get his hand raised in a decision, "The Hanyak" changed things out of nowhere, landing a perfectly timed right hand to knock Petrino out cold.
Fans reacted to the brutal result, with many comparing the manner of it to Kamaru Usman's one-shot KO of Jorge Masvidal in 2021.
After going 6-0-1 to start his UFC career following an appearance on Dana White's Contender Series, Jacoby had lost four of five entering UFC Tampa and was likely fighting for his job.
Petrino, after an 11-0 start to his professional MMA career, has now lost back-to-back fights. He was finished by Anthony Smith earlier this year at UFC 301.
