Shocking knockout win in Vegas
Giagos defeated Rick Glenn via KO (punch) at 1:35 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Giagos was a very minor underdog for this fight at +130, but if he was to pull the upset, few would have guessed it would have come in this manner. Glenn had never been knocked out in his long pro career entering the evening, while Giagos' most recent knockout win came in June 2016. Yet, all it took was one sweeping left hook to the side of Glenn's head to close the show. That shot would go on to earn him one of four $50,000 Performance of the Night bonuses awarded on the evening. More importantly for the 33-year-old Giagos was the fact that the victory snapped a brief two-fight losing streak and would appear likely to have saved his job in the process. Giagos' next challenge will be to follow up this strong effort with another his next time out.
