    VIDEO: Kyle Daukaus Drops, Submits Gerald Meerschaert At UFC 322 For Second Straight Sub-Minute Finish

    After an impactful return to the UFC earlier this year, Kyle Daukaus came into Madison Square Garden and delivered another highlight performance, quickly putting away Gerald Meerschaert at UFC 322.

    Daukaus worked a combination of punches to the head just 30 seconds into the fight, dropping Meerschaert in the process. Daukaus then quickly dropped to the mat himself to lock Meerschaert up in a choke.

    The tapout came 50 seconds into the fight — good for the sixth-fastest submission in UFC welterweight history.

    Daukaus made his UFC return back in August at UFC Shanghai, needing just 43 seconds to finish Michel Pereira.

    Meerschaert has now lost four straight.

    Kyle Daukaus is back, returning to the UFC for the first time in three years and making a statement in a big way as he stops Michel Pereira during the UFC Shanghai prelims.

    Less than a minute into the bout, Daukaus landed a right hand that knocked Pereira down. Daukaus followed Pereira to the mat and started to land some ground-and-pound.

    After a pair of elbows that connected roughly, the referee stepped in to stop the fight, much to the protest of Pereira.

    Daukaus went 2-4 (1 NC) with the UFC between 2020 and 2022, including losses to Brendan Allen and Roman Dolidze, as well as a no-contest in a fight with Kevin Holland. Since his initial UFC release, Daukaus had won four straight, claiming the CFFC middleweight title and defending it twice.

    Pereira has now lost three straight, getting stopped by Anthony Hernandez last October and dropping a decision to Abus Magomedov at UFC Kansas City in April.
