    VIDEO: Yoo Joo-sang Taunts, Gets Flatlined By Daniel Santos One Round Later At UFC 320

    Daniel Santos brought a hard-hitting performance in to make Yoo Joo-sang pay for taunting earlier, finishing the fight in round two of their bout during the UFC 320 prelims.

    Yoo controlled the first round by mixing up his shots while using his footwork to dodge most of Santos’ attacks, frustrating his opponent further with taunting.

    Yoo tried to evade an early second-round flurry from Santos but left his chin open, leading to Santos dropping him with a left hook. A barrage of follow-up shots then forced referee Herb Dean to stop the fight in Santos’ favor.

    Yoo Joo-sang made an emphatic statement in his UFC debut at UFC 316, scoring the fourth-fastest finish in a debut performance at featherweight.

    Joo-sang needed just 28 seconds to put away Jeka Saraigh during the event’s preliminary card.

    Saragih looked to come after Joo-sang with a one-two. Joo-sang, however, saw it coming and stepped back away from the charge. Joo-sang then connected with a quick left hook that sent Saragih down, crumbling, like a stack of bricks, face first to the mat.

    Saragih has now lost three of four since entering the Octagon off a pair of 2022 victories on Road to UFC.
