#2 Best: Rozenstruik’s quick knockout
The prelim card last night was largely fun, but the standout moment by a mile was the ultra-quick knockout of Allen Crowder by Surinamese striker Jairzinho Rozenstruik.
The fight went literally 9 seconds, making it the second-fastest KO in UFC Heavyweight history behind Todd Duffee’s finish of Tim Hague a decade ago, and it was a rare star-making performance inside the Octagon this year.
Crowder – who defeated former NFL star Greg Hardy by disqualification in his last fight – walked into a short counterpunch that dropped him, and was never given a chance to recover as ‘Bigi Boy’ hit him with two coffin nail right hands that knocked him unconscious.
Sure, you can question Crowder’s chin as this was his second KO loss in 3 UFC outings, but you can’t question the striking of Rozenstruik.
‘Bigi Boy’ is now 2-0 in the UFC and has knocked out both opponents, and overall he’s 8-0 with just one of those fights going the distance. Clearly he’s a man to watch in the Heavyweight division – anyone with knockout power like that is going to be seriously dangerous – and while there are tons of questions around his overall game right now, the UFC can probably afford to push him into a showcase fight next time out.
