Vicious uppercut spells 'definitive end' for Homasi

Abdul Razak Alhassan stunned the UFC world with an absolutely brutal uppercut KO on Sabah Homasi in their much-anticipated rematch at UFC 220 in Boston.

Alhassan was also the winner the last time the pair squared off at UFC 218 but the TKO victory that time was shrouded in controversy, with many believing the bout was stopped too early.

"That is the definitive end that Abdul Razak Alhassan was looking for and Homasi is out cold," the commentator shouted.

"That's as definitive as it gets," the co-commentator added.

The Ghanaian's (9-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC) win came with almost 100 seconds remaining in the first round and was Homasi's (11-8 MMA, 0-3 UFC) third straight defeat.

The welterweight bout was one of the prelims to the main event fight - the heavyweight showdown between champion Stipe Miocic and challenger Francis Ngannou.

Bantamweight fighter Rob Font scored a massive win in the first bout on the main card.

The American's second round TKO of Thomas Almeida was the biggest of his career and it was made even sweeter by the fact he managed it in front of a packed house of home fans.

Font (15-3 MMA, 5-2 UFC) stunned Almeida (22-3 MMA, 5-3 UFC) with a barrage of striking in the second round.

The American hurt his Brazilian opponent with a big right hand was it was the head kick which followed that did the most damage.

Font slipped through Almeida's defences with a big right kick that caught him on the side of the head and sent the Brazilian staggering sideways.

A barrage of strikes from Font followed before the referee called a stop to the fight at the 2:24 mark.
