Azamat Murzakanov took ‘do or die’ approach before landing flying knee knockout at UFC Fight Night 203

LAS VEGAS – Azamat Murzakanov knew he needed to finish Tafon Nchukwi.

Just 44 seconds into the final frame, Murzakanov landed a flying knee knockout that took out Nchukwi and earned him a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus.
