Mike Perry added one to his highlight reel on Saturday at UFC Fight Night 108 when he knocked Jake Ellenberger out cold with a ferocious second-round standing elbow that left the veteran down on the mat for several minutes. The victory was easily the biggest of Perry’s young UFC career — his first triumph over a ranked opponent — and afterward he appeared unfazed with what Ellenberger had to offer, with Perry even suggesting that his 32-year-old foe consider calling it quits from the UFC.

“I know he had power, man. I’m sure he did,” Perry said in Nashville after UFC Fight Night 108.
