Yannick Bahati put himself at the top of the record books in one of the world longest standing MMA promotions on Friday – but it wasn’t without controversy.
At Cage Warriors 186 from Indigo at The O2 in London, Bahati (10-7-1) needed just four seconds to finish Charles Joyner (4-2-1) after he opened the light heavyweight contest with a massive right hand that led to the instant knockout. The punch, however, came after the pair seemingly went to touch gloves then the blow came moments thereafter.
Nevertheless, Bahati was elated the organization announced the stoppage set a new mark for the fastest knockout in company history.
