There’s a ton of competition for performance bonuses at UFC on ESPN 3: Ngannou vs. dos Santos with 6 of the 8 fights ending with impressive finishes. Latest on the card to wrap fast and furious was Drew Dober vs. Marco Polo Reyes, with Dober knocking Reyes out just 1:07 into the first round.
Dober came out fast, hitting Reyes with a lot of clean shots that staggered the Mexican fighter. Reyes grabbed a leg to break up the barrage, but once they separated Dober kept throwing powerful overhands until his opponent went down. After a couple of slow stoppages early on in the night, the referee stepped in quick to end things. Reyes was in no condition to complain, and it took him a bit to get back to his feet.
