UFC Fight Night Tulsa: Jordan Mein vs. Mike Pyle knockout highlights

Bloody Elbow 2.0 | Anton Tabuena

Prior to Rafael dos Anjos’ staggering upset victory over former lightweight champion Benson, Canada’s Jordan Mein picked up a first-round KO win of his own when he finished Mike Pyle in just over a minute of cage time.

Check out Dallas Winston’s play-by-play for the fight below:

Pyle with an outside low kick. Pyle shoots with no set up and Mein easily dodges it. Pyle tries to duck under Mein’s double jab but still no dice with the takedown. Mein fakes a level change and swings a saw-blade of a left hook that instantly floors Pyle. And that’s that.
