Dagestani fighters have a knack for smelling blood in the water.
UFC 194's fight pass prelims ended in spectacular fashion as Magomed Mustafaev finished his night's work in just 114 seconds.
The lightweight was fully aware that he wasn't getting paid by the round and made the decision to get backstage early enough to have a quick shower and catch the prelims.
Mustafaev tore out of the traps by ripping body kicks to the midsection of opponent Joe Proctor.
After feeling Mustafaev's power, Proctor backed into the fence for respite but found none as the now 13-1 beast snapped hold of a plum clinch and let fly with some crushing knees.
Relentless ground and pound left referee Mark Smith with no other option to jump in and call a halt to proceedings.
More of this, please.
