UFC 262 got off to an amazing start as four of the first five fights ended with finishes. However, the most spectacular finish of them all came in the fifth fight on the night. The middleweight bout between Jordan Wright and Jamie Pickett lasted just 64 seconds before referee Kerry Hatley stepped in and ended proceedings.

Pickett ‘The Nightwolf’ started the fight positively with some shots here and there, but Wright looked like he had the upper hand. However, once the fight went to the fence, Wright looked out of depth. Unfortunately, in a slight lapse of concentration, Pickett kept his head out, thus allowing his compatriot to capitalize.

Wright rained heavy elbows on Pickett’s head and dropped him. Though ‘The Nightwolf’ stood up, he couldn’t offer much resistance. He ate a knee to the head for his efforts. ‘The Beverly Hills Ninja’ finally finished the fight with multiple shots on the ground to go 12-1-1.

With the win, he maintained his impressive 100% win rate in finishes – 12 wins (7 T/KO 5 submissions). His one loss also came via knockout, and that was against another fighter known for his finishing skills in Joaquin Buckley.

Jordan Wright will look to use his win to break into the rankings

Wright headed into this fight on the back of a brutal KO against ‘New Mansa’. His performance tonight brushed off that dismal outing and did his confidence a world of good.

However, this was another preliminary card appearance for Wright. Highlight-reel finishes like this could be what he needs to break into the main card and secure a number next to his name. ‘The Beverly Hills Ninja’ certainly took a giant step towards that at the Toyota Center.
