'Oh my god': UFC in shock over devastating nine-second KO
The UFC world was left stunned after the second fastest knockout in heavyweight history preluded the main event.
Jairzinho Rozenstruik entered the octagon against hometown favourite Allen Crowder in South Carolina looking to keep his undefeated streak alive.
But before the crowd could get on their feet to support the local fighter the contest was over in the blink of an eye.
Only seconds after the fighters touched gloves, Rozenstruik jabbed Crowder which sent the heavyweight to the ground.
But as Crowder went to get up Rozenstruik delivered a huge blow, which knocked Crowder clean out.
“That quickly for Rozenstruik,” the commentator said.
HAHAHHAHA Crowder just got knocked out in 8 seconds oh my god

However, not to be outdone, the main event saw Chan Sung Jung - also known as the Korean Zombie - deliver a devastating knockout in the first round.
The fight, which only lasted 58 seconds, marked the Korean Zombie’s return to the octagon in a big way.
