Two separate fights only minutes after each other would break records for the fastest submissions in UFC history.
First Nikita Krylov faced Stanislav Nedkov on Saturday in Stockholm Sweden at UFC fight night.
Krylov finished Nedkov by a guillotine choke in round one at only 1:24. This is be the third fastest submission in the light heavyweight division in UFC history.
Just moments later Andy Ogle and Makwan Amirkhani faced off. Amirkhani flew off his feet with a flying kick as soon as the bell rang, ending the fight at just 8 seconds when the referee stepped in. This is thought to be the fastest finish in UFC history.
When Amirklani was asked by Joe Rogan after the fight he shouted, ““Hey Dana White, where’s my 50,000 bonus?!”
Although Amirklani’s fight was impressive it was also controversial. Many thought the fight was stopped too soon by a inexperienced referee.
The fights are currently underway with another six match ups of the night.
