Cub Swanson TKO'ed Darren Elkins in devastating fashion

Cub Swanson secured a stunning first-round TKO finish against Darren Elkins at UFC Vegas 45. 'Killer' put on a striking masterclass, dropping 'The Damage' multiple times in their bout.

Swanson landed a crisp combination 90 seconds into the bout that sent Elkins to the canvas. With Elkins noticeably rocked as he stood up, Swanson unleashed a spinning wheel kick that dropped the former once again. Referee Herb Dean saw that Elkins was too unstable to continue and stepped in to stop the fight.

Here's what Swanson had to say in his post-fight interview with Michael Bisping:

“It’s a big moment. You start to question how long you want to do it. I keep telling everyone I feel good, I feel better than ever. I just needed to show it."
