UFC on ESPN 47 video: Joanderson Brito smashes Westin Wilson for knockout during kneebar attempt

Joanderson Brito brought the heat with a brutal knockout followed by a fiery callout of a top featherweight contender.

[autotag]Joanderson Brito[/autotag] smashed his way to another victory Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.

In a featherweight prelim bout at UFC on ESPN 47, Brito (14-3-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC) brutally knocked out 14-to-1 underdog [autotag]Westin Wilson[/autotag] (16-8 MMA, 0-1 UFC) during a submission attempt. The stoppage came at 2:54 of Round 1.

Wilson was a short-notice replacement who filled in for the withdrawing Khusein Askhabov and was met early with a signature Brito flurry. Wilson tied up Brito, who then took him down. Once on the ground, Wilson, a submission specialist, attempted a kneebar. After he failed to slip his leg out, Brito rained down some powerful right hands that eventually knocked Wilson unconscious.

After the fight, Brito debuted English during his in-cage interview when he called out featherweights Dan Ige and Alex Caceres for a bout in Brazil this November. Brito has won three straight bouts since he lost his promotional debut to Bill Algeo.

Wilson had a three-fight winning streak snapped with the loss.
