Gokhan Saki and Khalil Rountree opened up the main card of UFC 226.
Saki and Rountree shared the Octagon earlier tonight (July 7). This was Saki’s third professional mixed martial arts bout. Saki hoped to utilize his world-class kickboxing to finish Rountree. Meanwhile, Rountree was in search of his first win in almost a full year.
In a stunning turn of events, Rountree knocked out the former Glory kickboxing light heavyweight champion. Check out the shocking finish courtesy of the UFC’s official Twitter account:
