UFC 248’s main event on Saturday night did not put on the type of violent show that fight fans had hoped to see, but a few other matchups on the card sure didn’t disappoint at all.
The co-main event between Joanna Jedrzejczyk and strawweight champ Weili Zhang was one of the greatest fights you’ll ever see. Zhang got the W to defend her belt via unanimous decision after five incredible rounds, while Jedrzejczyk suffered some dangerous looking damage.
But the fight before that between Beneil Dariush and Drakkar Klose had the finish of the night as Dariush knocked out Klose after a wild exchange of punches.

Announcers Joe Rogan, Daniel Cormier, and Jon Anik had an incredible reaction to that KO:
