This UFC 244 is filling up with knockouts. In the first fight of the preliminaries, Jairzinho Rozenstruik knocked out Andrei Arlovski with a left hook. Then, Edmen Shahbazyan finished Brad Tavares with a kick to the face. And in the third fight, the referee was forced to stop everything. What happened?
American Shane Burgos and Finnish Makwan Amirkhani were facing each other in a featherweight fight, and they were already in the third round. There was little time left to finish (less than thirty seconds) and the unexpected happened.

Burgos went after his opponent and managed to land a kind of hook with his left hand. That was all, Amirkhani fell and the referee stopped the fight, giving the victory to the American by technical knockout.
Thus, Burgos has thirteen wins in mixed martial arts fights (he has fallen once), while Makwan already has fifteen victories and four losses (the one at UFC 244 is the second consecutive).
