Manuel Torres lands brutal elbow strike to score fifth-straight first-round finish – UFC Vegas 75 Highlights
Manuel Torres earned his fifth-straight first-round knockout at UFC Vegas 75, landing a perfectly-timed elbow strike that immediately sent his opponent crashing to the canvas.
Torres walked into the bout with a significant amount of hype, given his penchant for first-round finishes. Putting away Frank Camacho in his promotional debut, Torres added another name to his hit list on Saturday night after sending his opponent to la la land with a brilliantly placed elbow in the opening round. Less than two minutes into the contest, Torres was putting pressure on his opponent, Nikolas Motta, when Motta feigned a short right. Seeing a perfect opportunity to counter, Torres unleashed a left elbow that hit Motta right on the button and immediately rendered him unconscious.
Torres followed his opponent to the ground and delivered a couple of brutal yet unnecessary hammer fists before referee Herb Dean could step in and call for the stoppage.
Official Result: Manuel Torres def. Nikolas Motta via KO (elbow) at 1:50 of Round 1.
