The heart of the matter

Abdul Razzak Alhassan kicked-off the UFC 228 pay-per-view on Saturday night in Dallas in a pretty impressive manner when he scored his third consecutive first round-KO victory. On this occasion, Alhassan quickly knocked out fellow up and coming fighter Niko Price and all it took was 43 seconds of the very first round.

An initial left hook is what put Price out cold and despite Price trying to fight back, the American fighter fell trap to a fury of punches as Alhassan knocked out his opponent in a pretty brutal fashion.

What's next?

With this win, Alhassan now stands at an overall record of 10-1 and at a record of 4-1 in the UFC. Also, this win definitely does guarantee a pretty positive reaction from UFC President Dana White, who now might look forward to booking Alhassan pretty soon inside the UFC Octagon yet again.

On the other hand, it'll also be very interesting to note who turns out to be Alhassan's next UFC opponent, as the Ghanaian Judoka has now finished each of his opponents by first round KO.
