Paulo Henrique Costa caught Johny Hendricks early with a flurry of punches in the second round, to pick up the biggest win of his career. On Twitter, pro fighters were impressed, while others thought the opening PPV bout at UFC 217 was stopped a bit too soon.
Alright let's watch Johnny get knocked out real quick and then on to the real fights

Quick stoppage but it would have ended the same. A lot of weird stoppages so far tonight
