Highlights: Monstrous Punch Sends Mouthpiece Flying At UFC Prague

Today’s (Sat., February 23, 2019) UFC on ESPN+ 3 from the O2 Arena in Prague, Czech Republic, features a crucial light heavyweight clash between Jan Blachowicz and Thiago Santos.

But the featured preliminary card bout between Dwight Grant and Carlo Pedersoli Jr. got the ball rolling. The finish was so massive, it has the entire MMA world talking.

Pedersoli threw a kick and Grant countered masterfully, knocking his mouthpiece out on the way to a first-round TKO with one second left on the clock. Unreal stuff.
