Muslim Salikhov delivered a vicious one-punch, walkoff knockout to dispatch Carlos Leal in just 42 seconds at UFC Abu Dhabi on Saturday.

Despite coming into the fight as a heavy underdog, Salikhov showed no fear whatsoever trading shots with Leal on the feet as the Brazilian immediately began stalking him across the cage to start the fight. That was likely a game plan to take away Salikhov’s talented feet after he’s scored a number of highlight reel victories with his kicks.
