NEW YORK – Oban Elliott’s first octagon finish was nothing short of electric.
Elliott (12-2 MMA, 3-0 UFC) completed a perfect first year under the UFC banner Saturday at UFC 309 when he scored a vicious third-round knockout of Bassil Hafez (9-5-1 MMA, 1-2 UFC) in their welterweight bout at Madison Square Garden.
After controlling the fight for the first two rounds, Elliott landed a huge punch on Hafez early in the final frame. Hafez went down and Elliott smashed him with multiple shots to put him in and out of consciousness at the 0:40 mark of Round 3.
