Tim Wilde wasn’t having a bad first round, but then Manoel Sousa connected with one punch at Bellator Champions Series: Belfast.
That was all Sousa needed to shut the lights out on Wilde, who dropped like a sack of potatoes when a hard left hook landed flush across his chin. And with that, Sousa was victorious by first-round knockout just 48 seconds into their main-card opener Friday at SSE Arena.
Check out the devastating finish below (via X):
