There are good first impressions – and then there’s the picture-perfect knockout blow Nursulton Ruziboev landed at UFC on ESPN 47.
Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Ruziboev (35-8-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC) introduced himself to the international audiences – and his fist to the face of Brunno Ferreira (10-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC). In what almost looked like a fight scene out of a major motion picture, Ruziboev displayed impeccable timing when he caught Ferreira’s kick, came over the top with a punch, and blasted his opponent clear off the ground.
As Ferreira flew backward both of his feet flew toward the sky and he landed square on his back. Ruziboev blasted him with a few more punches until the referee dove in. The stoppage came at 1:17 of Round 1.

After the fight, Ruziboev was extremely emotional on the microphone, barely able to get any words out while he spoke with UFC commentator Michael Bisping.
Ruziboev, 29, had 44 professional MMA bouts prior to his short-notice UFC signing. The victory Saturday extends his winning streak to nine.
Ferreira, 30, is a Dana White’s Contender Series signee who won his promotional debut vs. Gregory Rodrigues by knockout.
