The nightmare lasted a few seconds. In a fight valid for the welterweight (up to 77,1 kg) of UFC 309, held last Saturday (16), in New York, the Welsh Oban Elliott starred in one of the most shocking moments of the night. With a devastating right cross, the British fighter hit Bassil Hafaez square in the face, who collapsed in the octagon, semi-conscious.
