Jesus Aguilar picked up his first octagon win in spectacular fashion.
Aguilar (9-2 MMA, 1-1 UFC) knocked out Shannon Ross (13-8 MMA, 0-2 UFC) in just 17 seconds on Saturday in their flyweight bout at UFC 290 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Aguilar connected with a picture-perfect overhand right that shut Ross’ lights out. The Mexican fighter’s finish was the second fastest in UFC flyweight history (via ESPN MMA).
