These quick finishes provide an extra thrill to fight fans and their picks in the UFC odds. Today, we will dive into the top five fastest finishes in the history of the flyweight division.
Dustin Ortiz vs. Hector Sandoval – 15 Seconds
The fastest finish in the history of UFC's flyweight division belongs to Dustin Ortiz, who obliterated Hector Sandoval in just 15 seconds of their match in August 2017. Ortiz, a UFC veteran, exchanged with Sandoval early in the fight, only to be caught with a left hook, but he absorbed it well to unleash a perfect counter right-hand punch straight to Sandoval's temple.
It immediately put Sandoval on skates, and Ortiz blitzed him with two more punches to plant him on the canvas. Ortiz then closed the show by adding three more hammer fist strikes before the referee officially called for the stoppage.
