If you get a first-round finish in a regular-season PFL fight, you earn six points in the standings.
Movlid Khaybulaev, apparently, sees little reason to utilize all five minutes of that opening round when he can just get things over with from the jump.
Literally.
On Thursday night, Khaybulaev set a PFL record for fastest knockout when he nearly decapitated Damon Jackson with a flying knee. The time of the stoppage at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, N.Y., was just 10 seconds into the opening round.
Watch it here (via Twitter):
For the win, Khaybulaev earns six points in the PFL’s featherweight standings and just might end up with “Knockout of the Year” when 2019 is said and done.
