At UFC 310 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nigerian-born Kennedy Nzechukwu defeated Lukasz Brzeski via first-round TKO as he continues his heavyweight transition.
Nzechukwu defeated Lukasz Brzeski with a thudding knockout to move to 2-0 since moving up from light heavyweight.
With less than ten seconds left in the first round, Nzechukwu put Brzeski down for the count, marking his second consecutive first-round finish.
Nzechukwu displayed his remarkable strength by stalking Brzeski for the majority of the round before catching him in the middle of the octagon.
Brzeski's focus was drawn to a rigid left, which left him vulnerable to a powerful right hand that startled him.
Nzechukwu sealed the deal with strikes on the ground as Brzeski collapsed to the mat.
The Nigerian who defeated Chris Barnett via first-round TKO this past October, has now won two straight heavyweight bouts.
Nzechukwu quickly recovered after replacing Tallison Teixeira, who had to withdraw due to an injury, on short notice.
Brzeski loses via knockout for the second time in a row, dropping his UFC record to 1-5.
