In a monumental UFC 300 showdown, Alex Pereira needed less than four minutes to prove who the best light heavyweight in the world truly is.
Pereira, after checking an accidental kick below the belt from Jamahal Hill, sent his opponent to the canvas with a vicious left hook. After he swarmed Hill with ground-and-pound, referee Herb Dean was forced to stop the fight.
In the co-main event, Zhang Weili retained her strawweight title against her fellow countrywoman Yan Xiaonan in a five-round bout. Also, Max Holloway delivered one of the best knockouts in UFC history with a last-second KO of Justin Gaethje to become the new BMF champion.
