From MMA Junkie:
BUFFALO, N.Y. – Gregor Gillespie needed less than half a minute to put Andrew Holbrook away, and he did so with violent enthusiasm in front of a friendly home crowd.
A left hook put Holbrook (12-2 MMA, 2-2 UFC) down early and follow-up strikes put him the rest of the way out, handing Gillespie (9-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) the knockout victory just 21 seconds into the opening round.
The lightweight bout was part of the preliminary card of today’s UFC 210 event at KeyBank Center in Buffalo, N.Y. It streamed on UFC Fight Pass ahead of additional prelims on FS1 and a main card on pay-per-view.
“It’s almost like a dream. It hasn’t even soaked in yet,” Gillespie said. “This was my first knockout in front of a crowd that was roaring. This is such a special feeling, and it’s as good as it gets right there.”
Holbrook barely had a chance to settle into this fight and already his night was over. After firing off a combination in the opening exchange he ate a sharp left hook from Gillespie, snapping Holbrook’s head to one side and dropping him flat on his back.
Holbrook would attempt an upkick to keep Gillespie at bay, but Gillespie pushed the legs to one side and moved to side control, where he hammered Holbrook again, making his body go limp and forcing referee Dan Miragliotta to move in and stop the bout almost as soon as it started.
The win keeps Gillespie’s perfect professional record intact, giving him his first knockout victory in the UFC. Holbrook has now lost two of his last three.
Long story short, Gillespie is an absolute beast…
