UFC 236: Was Khalid Taha’s win over Boston Salmon stopped too soon?

Boston Salmon seemed to think his fight with Khalid Taha on Saturday night was stopped too soon.

Salmon (6-2 MMA; 0-1 UFC) was making his UFC debut against Taha (13-2 MMA; 1-1 UFC) in a featherweight matchup on the ESPN prelim portion of UFC 236, and the bout went a mere 25 seconds.

That was due to a big left hand which dropped Salmon, followed by a furious finishing flurry in which, on replay, it appeared Salmon went limp.

UFC 236 took place Saturday at State Farm Arena in Atlanta. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and UFC Fight Pass/ESPN+.
