The co-main event of UFC Fight Night: Arlovski vs. Overeem was a must-win heavyweight bout between former title challenger Antonio Silva and Holland’s own Stefan Struve. Both men have struggled in recent bouts, so a win was of paramount importance to not just be in the UFC rankings, but to stay in the UFC.
Struve jarred Bigfoot Silva with a right hand, then uppercuts, a huge knee which dropped Bigfoot, then punches and a series of elbows to the side of the head until the referee stopped the fight. That’s literally everything that happened, and it’s the 3rd fastest finish in the history of the UFC heavyweight division. Another win for the Dutch tonight.
Official result: Stefan Struve def. Antonio Silva via TKO (strikes) at :15 of round 1
Here’s the finish (which is the whole fight):
