Video, poll: Was Magomedov’s twister UFC Fight Night 279's best finish?

[ASFN Admin]

The prelims may have had their fair share of grinders, but UFC Fight Night 279 delivered in its five biggest moments.

All five bouts on the main card at UFC Fight Night 279 at the Meta APEX in Las Vegas were stoppages after only a pair of finishes in the early fights – though one of those came in just 23 seconds. And on the main card, we got to see a rare finish – only the fourth in UFC history – and a passing of the torch for most knockouts in the flyweight division.

UFC Fight Night 279 had seven stoppages in a dozen fights. Check out the stoppages in the video above. Then vote for which one was your favorite in our poll below.
