UFC Fight Night 114 results: Dustin Ortiz KOs Hector Sandoval in 15 seconds for fastest flyweight win

In less time than it takes most people to tie their shoes, Dustin Ortiz put Hector Sandoval to sleep with an offensive outburst as swift as it was brutal.

A counter right hand from Ortiz (17-7 MMA, 6-5 UFC) put Sandoval (14-4 MMA, 1-3 UFC) on his heels, and the follow up put him away just 15 seconds into the fight, giving Ortiz the fastest finish in UFC flyweight history.

The flyweight bout was part of the preliminary card of today’s UFC Fight Night 114 event at Mexico City Arena in Mexico. It aired on FS1 following additional prelims on UFC Fight Pass and ahead of a main card on FS1.

Before the fighters had even worked up a decent sweat, this one was in the books. The end came during one of the first exchanges of the fight, as Sandoval pushed forward behind a punching combination, prompting Ortiz to take a step back and fire off a right hand that caught him high on the head as Sandoval was moving in.

That punch staggered Sandoval and left him as easy pickings for Ortiz’s second right hand, which rattled his skull on the way to the floor, with Ortiz in hot pursuit right behind him. As Sandoval turtled up on the mat, Ortiz added a couple swift hammerfists to remove all doubt, and just like that the fight was over almost as soon as it had begun.

The victory gets Ortiz back in the win column for the first time since he was choked out by Brandon Moreno in April. Sandoval’s loss snaps a two-fight winning streak.
