Watch: Two-second KO in BKFC fight

Saturday’s BKFC event in Atlanta featured what seems to be the fastest knockout in combat sports history, as North Carolina featherweight Justin Watson recorded a two-second, one-punch KO victory over Cole Ferrell. The two-second KO was enabled by BKFC rules, which have the combatants starting in the center of the ring, not in their corners like standard boxing. The record was previously held by Ulysses Diaz, who scored a three-second KO over Donelei Benedetto at BKFC 14 in 2020. Watson improved his BKFC record to 1-2 with the jaw-dropping win after entering the contest as a +607 betting underdog according to NXTbets. The Atlanta product Ferrell, who boasts an 11-1 professional MMA record, is now 1-1 in his BKFC career.
