Levan Chokheli didn’t need to do much to get the win over Leon Shahbazyan at UFC Vegas 119, pounding away for the finish in just 23 seconds.
Chokheli came forward while Shahbazyan circled on the outside, near the fence. Chokheli landed a pair of hard leg kicks before digging in with a couple of flurries.
Among the flurries, Chokheli cracked Shahbazyan with a body punch that sent him crumbling, ending things as quickly as they got started.
