Arman Tsarukyan put an exclamation point on an action-packed UFC on ESPN 52 event Saturday in Austin, Texas.
In the main event at Moody Center, Tsarukyan (21-3 MMA, 8-2 UFC) needed just 64 seconds to put longtime lightweight contender Beneil Dariush (22-6-1 MMA, 16-6-1 UFC) out cold.
The finishing combination was a right hand-knee-right hand trifecta. Dariush flew backward onto the canvas. Tsarukyan missed on a big overhand right on the way down, a la Dan Henderson vs. Michael Bisping at UFC 100, but landed three more right hands to seal the deal.
