Arman Tsarukyan sensationally passed one of the biggest tests of his career at UFC Vegas 49.
The Armenian dominated Joel Alvarez with his wrestling and ground and pound on route to a second-round TKO win.
Alvarez was badly cut towards the end of round 1 and was not able to intelligently defend himself for the rest of the fight.
Check out the highlights.
