Video: UFC hopeful Jose Delgado impresses Dana White with violent knee knockout of Ernie Juarez
[autotag]Jose Delgado[/autotag] kept the violence rolling Tuesday when he put [autotag]Ernie Juarez[/autotag]'s lights out.
At Dana White's Contender Series 67, Delgado (8-1) very likely punched his ticket into the UFC when he knocked Juarez (8-1) out with a knee and punches for a stoppage at 1:25 of Round 2. The featherweight bout took place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.
After a strong first round, Delgado took the judges out of the equation in Round 2. Juarez appeared to be out on the initial knee, but referee Chris Tognoni didn't get involved until Delgado some follow-up hammerfists landed thereafter.
What a knee ‼️
Jose Delgado gets it done in style!
