Now THAT is how you get a UFC pay-per-view started off! Danaa Batgeral, one of the most feared punchers in the bantamweight ranks, introduced his left fist of stone to Guido Cannetti's face, and the Mongolian finished off the Argentinian prospect with a vicious knockout ahead of the big Israel Adesanya/Yoel Romero headliner at UFC 248 Las Vegas.

Just. Like. That!

The UFC's 135-pound men's division is currently a minefield with no clear pecking order. but Batgeral could easily climb up the ranks with a few more dominant performances like this. Was it a jab? Was it a hook? Doesn't matter; it was nasty.
