Jorge Masvidal has secured a huge knockout victory over Darren Till at UFC London.
Till, fighting for the first time since a career-first defeat to Tyron Woodley last September, dropped his veteran opponent with a thunderous right early in the opening round.
But Masvidal responded superbly in the second, knocking the Liverpudlian out cold with a vicious left that stunned the O2 Arena.
Medical staff immediately attended to the 26-year-old who was left unconscious as a result of the shot.
He was able to walk out of the octagon but his hopes of securing another shot at the welterweight title have suffered a major setback.
For Masvidal, however, he has a victory that will surely thrust him back into the world title picture after sending a brutal message to the rest of the division.
On the chief support to the main event, Leon Edwards secured a split decision victory over Gunnar Nelson in another thrilling welterweight clash.
The Birmingham fighter survived a late charge from Nelson having done enough to secure victory on the judges' cards.
In the build-up to fight week, Edwards had called to face the winner of Till vs Masvidal with a clash against the Florida fighter now a compelling option.
Earlier on the card, Nathaniel Wood racked up his third UFC victory with a submission victory over José Alberto Quiñónez.
The Londoner, fighting back home after wins in New York and Las Vegas in 2018, fed off the hometown crowd, dominating his Mexican opponent from the off before locking in a rear-naked chokehold that forced the tap.
Elsewhwere, Marc Diakiese got the win that has breathed life into his UFC prospects, sealing a decision victory over Ireland's Joe Duffy.
Diakiese had suffered three straight defeats that had left his future in doubt but picked up a priceless win on the London show.
