European middleweights clashed in the Octagon at Arena Ciudad de Mexico in Mexico City Saturday night, with Norway’s Jack Hermansson scoring a first-round stoppage of England’s Brad Scott that earned “The Joker” his second consecutive knockout win.
Looking to implement his ground game, Hermansson got his wish with a takedown in the second minute, and from there, Scott had no answers, as he was flattened out and then subjected to a series of unanswered ground strikes that left referee Bladimir Puga no choice but to stop the fight at the 3:50 mark of round one.
