On Saturday night, UFC Louisville saw a remarkable victory by Brazilian middleweight Brunno Ferreira. With a loud finish, he knocked out Dustin Stoltzfus with a spinning back elbow. The blow was executed with full force and precision, catching Stoltzfus off guard and securing the win.
The impact of the blow left Stoltzfus stunned, prompting the referee to step in and end the fight. This impressive finish marked only the eighth spinning back elbow knockout in UFC history.
Ferreira’s victory improved his record to 11-1 and extended his winning streak. After suffering the first loss of his MMA career last July, Ferreira bounced back with a first-round knockout of Phil Hawes in January. Now, following his win over Stoltzfus, Ferreira may be in contention for a performance bonus at the end of the fight card.
