UFC Vegas begins with three incrdible first minute knockouts image

The first three fights at UFC Vegas 2 lasted a combined one minute and 53 seconds, with Christian Aguilera, Tyson Nam and Julia Avila all scoring knockout victories inside one minute. 

Aguilera got the show started in emphatic fashion, needing just 59 seconds to stop Anthony Ivy.


Next up, Tyson Nam snapped a two-fight losing skid with a highlight reel one-punch knockout of Zarrukh Adashev.

Having most recently dropped a decision to New Zealand's Kai Kara-France in Auckland in February, Nam earned his first UFC win in just 32 seconds. 


"I've always had something to give the fans and if you guys ain't watching, you're missing out," he said afterwards. 

"I should've been here a long time ago, and it feels so good to show everybody that when someone wants to fight with me, I'm gonna put them to sleep. 

"I'm a flyweight, but I'm telling you flyweights are exciting. 

"I got outpointed in my first two fights. Not outclassed. But when people want to fight, exciting things will happen."

Not to be outdone, bantamweight Julia Avila needed just 22 seconds to stop Gina Mazany in the third fight on the card.
