In a never seen before finish in the Octagon, Irene Aldana made history at UFC 279 with her third round TKO of Macy Chiasson. After two back and fourth rounds, the Mexican caught her opponent with a heel upkick to the liver that sent Chiasson immediately down to the canvas, unable to continue. On Twitter, pro fighters reacted to the finish.
