Four large knockouts were scored last night at UFC Vegas 103, the most sensational of which was landed by an unbeaten prospect in the turnout.
UFC Vegas 103 was definitely a mixed bag; Six decisions and four KO/TKOs, with finishes scored by Manel Kape, Cody Brundage, Sam Patterson and Mario Pinto.
Of those four stops, the best of the couple was undoubtedly the British Portuguese striking Mario Pinto's who improved to 10-0 when he sent a former NFL player to the shadow-rich way.

Dustin Poirier leads the reaction to the annoying KO loss of the former NFL star
After he had booked his place on the UFC schedule with a large KO victory on the Dana White Contender Series in October, there was a serious hype behind Pinto on his way to UFC Vegas 103.
Despite the fact that he was a slow start against Austen Lane, 20-7 of the former NFL player in the Openingstanza, with 20-7 in important strikes, Pinto came back in the second.
While the clock tapped for 39 seconds of round two, Pinto discovered a beautiful sweeping right hook that extinguished on the chin of Lane – so he crashed to the canvas, unconscious from the moment it landed.
Lightweight legend Dustin 'The Diamond' Poirier was one of the various UFC stars that responded to Pinto's sensational interruption, writing on X: “Man that was a bad ko.”
All-Action Terrance McKinney noted that it was a “great job by stopping the latter bump by” stopping “the landing, in which former hunter analyst Alan Jouban was written,” Die Autumn. “
Former double champion Henry Cejudo, who later had some harsh words in the direction of the UFC Vegas 103 Main Event, wrote in All-Caps: “Mario Pinto Holy Moly!”
Mario Pinto calls his knockout victory on the NFL star 'Absolutely Trash'
In the immediate aftermath of his Walk-Off Ko, Pinto squat down in the Achthoek and seemed to mutter something in anger under his breath.
During the press conference after the fight, Pinto revealed that he called the viral knockout 'Absolutely waste' a remarkable reaction for such a sensational finish.
“What did I spoke? “Oh, absolutely waste.” But it is good, waste is good … It is not how I usually fight from my previous versions, but a bit of the jitters, it is heavyweight, everyone has strength. I just waited a little too long and scaled up for a little too long, but I did the job.
“It just took some time to persuade the tractor, and I think I was too lost at the moment, tried to be too perfect. It is a fight, and I am very lucky and happy that I shouted my coach against me … I had much more to show, I showed it in earlier fights … even on my worst days, I get the job. “
After UFC Vegas 103, Pinto improves to 10-0 as a professional MMA hunter, while Lane drops to 13-6 with only one victory in his last five outings.
