Video: Khaos Williams brutalizes Alex Morono in 27 seconds of short-notice UFC 247 debut

Khaos Williams has arrived.

A short-notice replacement for injured welterweight Dhiego Lima, Williams (10-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) entered enemy territory when he trucked Alex Morono on Saturday at UFC 247.

Williams came out fists-a-flying, winging punches at the Fortis MMA product. Morono (17-6 MMA, 6-3 UFC) retreated, but his back hit the cage, and he couldn’t escape Williams’ heat.
