UFC’s hot new prospect however, made short work of bis opponent with a TKO victory in the first round after only 3:09 minutes. With this win, he now has the record of the quickest turnaround victory in UFC history (10 days).
I’m going to smash everybody!
After the win, Chimaev expressed his desire for an even quicker turnaround and fight again later on the card.
“I can fight after one hour maybe,” Chimaev said with a smile on his face. “If somebody is injured, I’m here. I’m going to smash everybody. It doesn’t matter. I’m going to smash everybody.”
McKee himself was making his UFC debut. He was on a 3-match winning streak. However, it all came crashing down for him almost as soon as it began. Within just 20 seconds of the fight, he was taken to the ground and he never got up after that.
McKee tried fighting back but a barrage of punched from Chimaev forced the referee to call the match.
With this win, the world has now begun to take not of Chimaev. And from the looks of it, he is relishing it.
