On Saturday, an early knockout of the year contender took place as Marcel Fortuna knocked out Anthony Hamilton.
During the UFC’s annual Super Bowl weekend event, which took place this year at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas, Fortuna brutally knocked out Hamilton in the first round of their heavyweight fight.
Fortuna’s knockout was so brutal, Hamilton face planted on the canvas. He then got back to his feet and was stumbling around the cage.
What may be more shocking than the knockout, is Fortuna came into this heavyweight fight only weighing 210 pounds. His opponent came into the fight with a 40-pound weight advantage. However, this had no impact on the amount of force Fortuna was able to create with his punches in order to knock Hamilton out.
Saturday’s UFC Fight Night event featured the return of “The Korean Zombie” Chan Sung Jung after being away from the sport for over three years. Jung fought Dennis Bermudez in the main event. It took Jung less than one round to knockout Bermudez and win his comeback fight.
