#4 Ricardo Ramos starts the night off with a spinning back elbow from hell

Enter captio
The first attempt landed, but the second one was what did it

You can't start the night off with a better finish than this one. Ricardo Ramos came into his fight with Aiemann Zahabi after only fighting once in the UFC and I doubt he expected to be a candidate for KO of the Year so soon into his tenure.

The fight was competitive with the first round a very grapple heavy and "scrambly" altercation with Ramos getting the better of it and winning the round. Round two started and Zahabi kept things on the feet and was able to work his jab and control the action which presumably won him the round.

Enter the third and we're all tied up. The action was playing out similarly to the second round but Zahabi decided he ought to get aggressive and thought he saw an opening. Rushing on Ramos turned out to be the worst possible idea as he looked for a spinning back elbow which landed but Zahabi was unaffected.

Wait a second or two more and the second one follows and it couldn't have landed cleaner. A devasting shot that put Zahabi's lights OUT. This is only the second time we've seen a spinning back elbow result in a knockout and what a way it was to start off such an incredible card. Talk about a tone-setter.
