In the most shocking welterweight result since Matt Serra’s knockout of Georges St. Pierre in 2007, Johny Hendricks knocked out Jon Fitch in just 12 seconds at UFC 141. Fitch was 20-1-1 in his previous 22 bouts with his only loss coming in a title bout with St. Pierre. Even among those who thought Hendricks would win against Fitch, a 12 second knockout seemed unthinkable. Hendricks, a world class wrestler with a 12-1 MMA record, has some big fights coming his way. His only potential liability is that he is small for the 170 pound division.
