Xiao Long woke up the crowd at UFC Fight Night 248 with a ruthless knockout of Quang Le.
After a back-and-forth bantamweight bout over more than 2 rounds, Long (27-8 MMA, 1-1 UFC) closed the program in the last frame when he linked with a tidy 1-2 punch mix that dropped Le (8-2 MMA, 0-2 UFC) to his back. He followed up with a set of shots to turn the lights out, and referee Mike Beltran stopped it at the 1: 28 mark of Round 3.
It was a strong efficiency from Long for his veryfirst octagon accomplishment, and you can check out the replay of the blockage listedbelow (via X):
