As UFC 301 was playing out some 4,500 miles away in Rio de Janeiro, Torrez Finney was in Jacksonville, Fla., making a strong case for himself to join the UFC.
Finney, who was denied a UFC contract despite a second-round submission win last year on Dana White’s Contender Series, delivered an absolutely scintillating one-punch knockout of opponent Tyson Jeffries on Saturday at Combat Night. What’s even crazier is the fact that it was caught on video from a perfect cageside angle for us to clearly see and hear the brutality.

Something tells us the UFC boss soon could be making a phone call to undefeated Finney (7-0) – either with an offer to be a short-notice replacement or a second opportunity on Contender Series.
