Arman Tsarukyan floored Beneil Dariush with a knee and finished him off with punches in a first-round knockout in their lightweight bout and the main event of UFC Fight Night in Austin, Texas, on Saturday.
Dariush covered up to guard against punches but didn’t see the knee coming that caught him square. Tsarukyan finished the job, knocking Dariush out cold with strikes on the mat.
The fight lasted just 64 seconds.
“I don’t want to win by a decision or whatever. I just wanted to … go home and get the title fight,” Tsarukyan said. “I am a top five fighter, No. 3 or No. 2. Hopefully next fight is going to be for the title. I’m gonna be a champion, trust me guys.”
Tsarukyan improved to 21-3. Dariush fell to 22-6-1.
