5 best UFC knockouts of May 2022

#4. Manuel Torres def. Frank Camacho – UFC Vegas 54

Manuel Torres earned a UFC contract following his successful appearance on Dana White's Contender Series last year. The heavy-handed Mexican lightweight made his full promotional debut at UFC Vegas 54, where he took on Frank Camacho, who's been on the roster since 2017.

Torres made a strong statement with his performance, coming away with a first-round TKO victory to cap off a masterful display of boxing.

Torres' hands were on fire right from the get-go, and it became apparent early into the bout that Camacho was in for a long night. The latter struggled against the reach and accuracy of his Mexican counterpart. He even attempted a few takedowns to stifle the striking threat of 'El Loco', but his success was short-lived.

Halfway through the third minute of the first round, Torres landed a pin-point right uppercut that sent Camacho crashing down to the canvas. The promotional newcomer earned a post-fight performance bonus for his exquisite knockout.

#3. Andre Fialho vs. Cameron VanCamp – UFC 274

Andre Fialho has made quite the impression since his promotional debut earlier this year – a unanimous decision loss to Michel Pereira. The Portuguese welterweight returned to the octagon just three months after his narrow defeat to Pereira, finishing American prospect Miguel Baeza inside the opening round to open his account in the UFC.

Soon after his win over Baeza, Fialho demanded another fight and the matchmakers obliged. He took on Cameron VanCamp on the preliminary card of UFC 274, coming away with yet another knockout victory.

Fialho needed just over two-and-a-half minutes to put VanCamp away. He dropped the American with a picture-perfect left hook and the referee lunged in moments later to call a halt to the action.

The 28-year-old picked up his second 'Performance of the Night' bonus on the bounce with his win over VanCamp. As expected, he demanded another quick return to the octagon in his post-fight interview and the matchmakers obliged once again. He will feature at UFC 275 in Singapore as well.
