Undefeated rising star Hyder Amil stole the show at UFC Vegas 94.
The American featherweight and Lee Jeong-Yeong opened up the main card after five largely uneventful preliminary fights at the UFC APEX in Las Vegas on Saturday night.

Amil got pulses racing by knocking out his opponent in just 65 seconds.
After 45 seconds, he jumped in with a four-punch combination of hooks but Jeong-Yeong caught him with a counter that made him back up for a moment.
However, Amil soon jumped into the fire again and his rival couldn’t do anything to stop his onslaught.
A barrage of strikes had Jeong-Yeong staggering all over the Octagon, and referee Mark Smith ultimately waved off the bout when he got stuck against the fence eating punches.

Amil landed 38 consecutive punches to improve his perfect record to 10-0.
UFC fans took to social media reacting to the madness they had witnessed.
One person tweeted: “OMG OMG OMG barrage is right.”
