Kaan Ofli continues to find his form in the octagon after a highlight finish of Javier Reyes at UFC Fight Night 280.
After losing his promotional debut, Ofli (14-4-1 MMA, 3-2 UFC) has now reeled off three straight victories. He dropped Reyes (23-6 MMA, 1-1 UFC) with a big punch early, then while trying to finish, transition to an arm-triangle choke that forced the tap at the 4:16 mark of Round 1 in the featherweight bout at National Gymnastics Arena in Baku, Azerbaijan.
Check out the replay below (via X):
After a successful performance, Ofli made it clear his confidence is growing and said the fight played out just as he imagined it.
"I finished him twice in the round – that's $100,000, baby," Ofli said in his post-fight interview with Michael Bisping. "I knew I had to be patient, I knew I had the tools to put this guy out. I was, and I found my shot."
