Cormier Calls Pinas "Biggest Power Puncher Ever" After 75-Second KO

Damian Pinas needed just 75 seconds to violently dispatch Andrey Pulyaev at UFC 332, and the UFC commentary team ran out of superlatives. One short uppercut from clinch range was all it took to render Pulyaev unconscious in the middleweight bout at Salt Lake City's Delta Center.

UFC Hall of Famer Daniel Cormier offered the boldest praise of the night: "I've never seen nothing like him, man. I think he might be the single biggest power puncher I've seen since we started doing this." Joe Rogan agreed, comparing the 24-year-old Surinamese fighter's freakish power to boxing legend Julian Jackson.

Pinas (11-1, 3-0 UFC) made clear he is coming for the middleweight championship as soon as possible. On the same card, Roberto Soldic won his long-awaited UFC debut by decision over Khaos Williams, recovering after being dropped in the first round. The UFC has a new knockout sensation — and the 185-pound division has been put on notice.
