Mairbek Taisumov was happy to stand and trade with Damir Hadzovic. But when Hadzovic started to get rolling, Taisumov made sure he couldn’t get too far.

Taisumov (25-5 MMA, 5-1 UFC) put Hadzovic (10-3 MMA, 0-1) out with a massive right uppercut in the first round for his fourth straight KO or TKO finish, and then he called for some top-10 opponents.

The lightweight bout was part of today’s UFC Fight Night 86 preliminary card at Zagreb Arena in Zagreb, Croatia. Like the main card, it aired on FOX Sports 1 following early prelims on UFC Fight Pass.

Check out Taisumov’s knockout finish in the video above.
