Jimmy Crute shockingly outstruck Jamahal Hill despite 48 second KO loss at UFC Fight Night

On December 4, Jimmy Crute did not have the best of nights in the UFC octagon as he suffered a brutal first-round loss to Jamahal Hill at UFC Vegas 44. It took 'Sweet Dreams' less than a minute to finish Crute via TKO.

Later, an interesting statistic emerged out of the light heavyweight scrap. During the 48-second fight, 'The Brute' landed more significant strikes than his opponent but in the end it was Hill who walked away with the knockout win.

Hill also won a 'Performance of the Night' bonus worth $50,000 for his outing at UFC Fight Night: Font vs Aldo.

This was 'Sweet Dreams' first fight since his first career loss to Paul Craig earlier this year in June. The 30-year-old currently has a professional MMA record of 9-1-1.
