Ottman Azaitar erupted to life against Khama Worthy in the co-main event at UFC Fight Night: Waterson vs Hill. After studying the other for a minute and circling the octagon, ‘The Bulldozer’ lived up to his moniker and unleashed havoc. He landed a series of punches on Worthy who had no response at all.

‘The Deathstar’ fell to the ground and was on all fours. However, the intense offensive volume going unanswered by Worthy promoted referee Herb Dean to put a stop to the fight at 93 seconds. This all-out brawl meant that Azaitar backed up his impressive UFC debut last year and put an exclamation point on his fledgling UFC career.
