Caio Borralho VIOLENTLY Puts Paul Craig's Lights Out To Kick Off UFC 301

There's knockouts, and then there's KNOCKOUTS. This one, from Caio Borralho over Paul Craig, is a KNOCKOUT. Absolute off-switch punch from Caio that left Craig unconscious on his knees before his back ever hit the ground....

This felt like a weird mismatch, despite Craig being ranked higher than Borralho going into the fight - and the odds reflected as much. Borralho was something like -600 and it was never in doubt once the octagon doors closed. He was faster than Craig every step of the way and just pieced him up until the finish. 

In his post-fight interview, he called for a fight with Jared Cannonier - which is a good shout for him! Cannonier is rumored to have a fight with Nassourdine Imavov in Louisville on June 8th, but nothing is confirmed yet, so who knows if this will shuffle things around.

Once again, the Brazilian crowd isn't coming off that loud on television….is everyone at the free Madonna concert down the block or something?!

More than two MILLION people expected to attend is insane to read. I've been to concerts on the beach with ~80k present where I could barely see the stage. TWO MILLION?! Guess Madonna's still got it! 

I'd rather watch Steve Erceg fight Alexandre Pantoja, personally. That's just me.
