Khaos Williams has fought twice in the UFC and he still hasn’t spent a total of one minute inside the octagon.
After a stunning 27-second debut back in February, Williams followed that up with a brutal one-punch knockout to finish Abdul Razak Alhassan in just 30 seconds in the UFC Vegas 14 co-main event on Saturday.
“It’s just hard work and dedication,” Williams said about his jaw-dropping performance. “I hope my opponent is OK as well. People gonna keep sleeping on me and the doctor gonna wake them up.”

Despite facing an opponent known for vicious first-round finishing power, Williams showed no fear coming after Alhassan as soon as the fight got started while landing a couple of stiff kicks to the legs.
Williams didn’t get a chance to display much more because he then unleashed a right hand during an exchange that blasted Alhassan flush in the chin and send him crashing back down to the canvas.
Alhassan was out before he hit the floor.
We need more angles!

The referee rushed into immediately stop the contest as Williams admired his handiwork while moving to 2-0 in his UFC career.
The welterweight division is among the very best in the UFC but the promotion seems to have a serious prospect in Williams after dispatching his first two opponents in just 57 seconds. It will be interesting to see where he goes from here but Williams is quickly turning into must see TV every time he performs.
