VIDEO: 46 Second Knockout Kick Starts UFC 260 With a Bang

UFC 260 will be the last PPV event without fans, as the UFC will be heading to Florida and Texas with a packed crowd for the next few PPV cards. Heavyweight knockout artist Francis Ngannou will headline the card as he takes on champion Stipe Miocic. The card started off with a bang as Jamie Mullarkey starched Khama Worthy in under a minute to get the main card started. 

Mullarkey hails from Australia and was supposed to fight on the card along with his teammate Alexander Volkanovski. However. the featherweight champion was not able to make it as due to  COVID-19 and received a shout-out from his teammate following a stunning knockout win.

Mullarkey has not had the best start to his UFC career. He succumbed to two losses in his first two fights in the promotion. Against the likes of Brad Riddell and Fares Ziam.

However, Jamie could not have asked for a better way to secure his first win in the UFC. The Australian fighter feinted with a right hand and as he stepped in threw a left hook that caught worthy off guard. As soon as the punch landed, Worthy‘s legs gave out and he hit the floor. Mullarkey then finished off the fight with a few shots on the ground before the referee stepped in and stopped the fight.
