VIDEO: Slow Motion of Sodiq Yusuff's KO of Gabriel Benitez at UFC 241 is a Work of Art
By Mark Powell
Sodiq Yusuff is a bad man! The Nigerian fighter improved his record to 10-1 by knocking out Gabriel Benitez in the first round of his UFC 241 bout on Saturday night, in part thanks to a ridiculous right-hand punch to Benitez's mouth, knocking him to the ground and essentially forcing the official's decision.
Maybe the best pure Contender Series talent, Sodiq Yusuff (10-1) proves it with a first-round flattening of Gabriel Benítez! The Nigerian has won five straight and is 3-0 in the UFC. All six of his finishes are by knockout. #UFC241 pic.twitter.com/zGAi0MVYqO

The slow motion is, as always, even better than watching the fight live.
All six of Yusuff's finishes in UFC have come via the knockout, and he's a fast riser in a sport in search of another star.
