Billy Quarantillo needed just seven seconds to put away Kyle Nelson once the third round of their featherweight fight started Saturday at UFC on ESPN+ 35.
Quarantillo was getting the best of Nelson as the action wore on in the matchup at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. The momentum was all on his side after 10 minutes, but he wasted no time finishing things off.
A blistering 1-2 combination from Quarantillo did the job, immediately hurting Nelson and putting him face down on the canvas. Check out the replay below (via Twitter):

With the win, Quarantillo’s hot start to begin his UFC career continued. He submitted Jacob Kilburn in his debut in December, outpointed Spike Carlyle in his sophomore effort in May, and now has an octagon knockout to his name at the expense of Nelson.
After the fight, Quarantillo called everything that’s happening “a dream come true.”
