A star is born: Watch Paulo Borrachinha rip through Garreth McLellan at UFC Fight Night 106

The UFC may have a new middleweight star on its hands in Paulo Borrachinha.

The Brazilian was in the curtain-jerker slot at UFC Fight Night 106, but made the most of his promotional debut – and quickly.

Borrachinha (9-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) put his striking on display against Garreth McLellan (13-6 MMA, 1-4 UFC) right out of the gate. He needed just 77 seconds to rip through his South African opponent to open up the card on UFC Fight Pass. After scoring with a body kick, Borrachinha unleashed punches along the fence until McLellan dropped.

Check out the video above to see Borrachinha finish off McLellan in the first round at Centro de Formacao Olimpica do Nordeste in Fortaleza, Ceara, Brazil.
