Abdul-Rakhman Yakhyaev knocked out Julius Walker with a right hand in eight seconds at UFC Baku on Saturday. Yardbarker.com reported that the Turkish fighter dropped Walker and secured the finish, earning a $100,000 performance bonus. Yakhyaev is now 10-0 with nine finishes.
He has stopped all three UFC opponents in the first round since debuting with the promotion last year, and eight of his ten career wins have ended before the opening frame concluded. The 25-year-old entered the bout as the heaviest favorite on the card. "Next time fight will be more short," Yakhyaev said in a post-fight interview.
"I think I'm ready for Top 10, Top 5, doesn't matter. " His camp is expected to push for a ranked opponent when he returns later this year, according to yardbarker.com.
