Fighting for the second time in a month, Marlon Moraes made a major statement to the UFC’s bantamweight division with a brutal knockout of Aljamain Sterling.

Moraes (20-5-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC) took out Sterling (14-3 MMA, 6-3 UFC) with a vicious knee to the chin. The knee landed before Moraes’ high kick could get to the mark. The end came 67 seconds into the bout.

The bantamweight bout was part of the main card of today’s UFC Fight Night 123 event at Save Mart Center in Fresno, Calif. It aired on FS1 following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.
