Denise Gomes stuns MMA Twitter with 20-second TKO of Yazmin Jauregui (Video)
A crazy night at UFC 290 just got even crazier, as Denise Gomes pulled off a stunning finish and made history while doing so.
Gomes took on Yazmin Jauregui as part of the preliminary card of the evening in Las Vegas, with the 10-0 Jauregui coming in as the favorite.
But Gomes needed just a single punch to show that undefeated record meant nothing to her.
With the first punch, Gomes rocked Jauregui, rocking her with another punch before lighting her up against the cage with a flurry until the referee stepped in and stopped the fight.
