Season 10 of Dana White’s Contender series is in full swing, with the second week of the season bringing 10 new UFC prospects into the Octagon at the Meta APEX in Las Vegas on Tuesday night.
It was a night full of impressive finishes, but nothing could have prepared fans for the exclamation mark Kaik Brito was going to put on the night.
After Trent Miller submitted Douglas Rodrigues in the co-main event with a Von Flue choke, Brito put a stamp on the event with a spectacular knockout just 12 seconds into the third round.

The UFC’s official X account tweeted out video of Brito’s stunning knockout, dubbing it “a knockout for the ages” and “one of the best knockout’s we’ve ever seen on DWCS.”
OH. MY. GOODNESS. 😳
