In a rematch from UFC 218, welterweight finisher Abdul Razak Alhassan took full advantage of another shot at Sabah Homasi earlier tonight (Sat., Jan. 20, 2018) at UFC 220 from inside TD Garden in Boston, Mass., when he finished the contest in the first round via uppercut.
It wasn’t entirely pretty for Alhassan who had to eat a few shots to find his range, but when the action returned to the feet after a brief Homasi takedown, “Judo Thunder” blasted Homasi with a mean right hand. Homasi was stunned, Alhassan moved in, and connected with a devastating uppercut that instantly turned the lights off.

With this performance, Alhassan secures his ninth career first-round knockout. The 32-year-old is extremely explosive, especially for 170 pounds, but will have to elevate his defense if he intends to climb the welterweight ladder moving forward.
