In what is supposed to be the final fight of his wildly entertaining career, UFC welterweight Matt Brown caught a Diego Sanchez kick, then uncorked one hell of an elbow to put Sanchez down and out. A first-round KO in the co-main event of UFC Fight Night: Poirier vs. Pettis in front of a loud crowd in Norfolk, Virginia. Luckily for the fans, they saw the KO without issue, but if you watched it on TV, the production feed just totally glitched out as the knockout blow landed.
Oh well, you get the reaction from fighters on both the KO and when the feed busted up.
Looking forward to this one with @DiegoSanchezUFC and @mattbrown Respect.
