WATCH: Joaquim Silva gets knockout win by bouncing Andrew Holbrook’s head off mat

Great stoppage

Darragh Murphy

What a way to kick off the main card!

The Ultimate Fighter 23 finale got started in some style when undefeated lightweights put the 0 on their records on the line.

It didn’t last long and it resulted in Andrew Holbrook losing his previously perfect record as he was steamrolled by Joaquim Silva in just 34 seconds.

‘Netto BJJ’ came tearing out of the traps and, after catching a Holbrook kick, he floored his opponent and landed a right hook flush to the chin as Holbrook looked to return to his feet.

As the Indiana native struggled to regain his composure, Silva pounced with a relentless series of hammer fists that made Holbrook go limp and forced the stoppage.

Silva moves to 9-0 and Holbrook goes home with a headache.
