The Ultimate Fighter returned Tuesday night on FX with the third episode of the season – “Embrace the Suffering.” In the second preliminary bout of the series, Uriah Hall, from Queens, N.Y., defeated St Louis’ Adam Cella with one of the most shattering knock outs in TUF history.

With four seconds remaining in the first round, Hall, 7-2 in mixed martial arts, delivered a devastating spinning back kick to the jaw, dropping Cella (4-0) to the mat and claiming a second win for Team Sonnen.

A full recap is available at ufc.com.
