Priscilla Cachoeira started off the UFC Auckland fight card with a bang, with a first-round knockout of Shana Dobson.

With the victory, Cachoeira sets record for fastest finish in UFC women’s Flyweight history.

Both women came out swinging in a wild exchange, with Cachoeira the aggressor, pressuring Dobson backwards.

Dobson fired back, but Cachoeira stepped in with a nasty right uppercut which landed flush on the chin, sending Dobson to the canvas unresponsive.

The referee stepped in before the follow-up shots could land, leaving an emotional Cachoeira to celebrate her victory.
