Joo Sang Yoo may very well be the following nice South Korean UFC star.
If his debut was any indication, Yoo will likely be one to look at for years to come back as he wanted simply 28 seconds to land a picture-perfect left hand on Jeka Saragih and that left him face-down on the canvas at UFC 316 in Newark, N.J.
Watch the gorgeous knockout strike beneath.
Yoo entered the bout as a heavy favourite and the commentary crew of Joe Rogan and Daniel Cormier talked about that the 31-year-old featherweight prospect has drawn comparisons to Conor McGregor. Whereas he has an extended option to go to match the achievements and fame of the previous two-division UFC champion, Yoo’s efficiency greater than lived as much as the hype.
With Saragih charging at him and swinging wildly, Yoo calmly managed the space earlier than unleashing a counter left to the chin that immediately robbed Saragih of his consciousness. The scary KO blow left Saragih staring blankly as he lied flat on the mat.
Yoo improved to 9-0 as a professional, with 4 of his wins coming by the use of KO/TKO.
