On the main card of ‘UFC Fight Night: Hamburg’ Ryan Bader left MMA fans stunned as he knocked out heavy handed Swedish fighter Ilir Latifi.
Bader, who came into the bout looking to avenge his KO loss to Anthony ‘Rumble’ Johnson earlier this year, made an emphatic statement as he landed a perfectly placed knee that left Latifi out cold on the canvas.
The loss snapped Latifi’s 3-fight win streak that saw the Swede defeat Hans Stringer, Sean O’Connell, and most recently Gian Villante.
Bader now returns to the win column after having his 5-fight win streak snapped at the hands of Anthony Johnson back in January.
