LAS VEGAS – Noad Lahat is probably going to have nightmares about knees flying at his face.
Lahat (9-2 MMA, 2-2 UFC) has just two losses in his MMA career, and both have come in the UFC courtesy of flying knees. Lightning struck again on Saturday night when Diego Rivas (7-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) drilled him with one for a clean knockout victory at UFC Fight Night 82.
Lahat dominated Rivas in the first round, but quickly in the second Rivas caught him for the upset and a highlight-reel finish at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Their fight opened the FOX Sports 1 portion of the preliminary card.
Check out the video above for the stunning finish.
