Kris Moutinho broke his silence after one of the most brutal Ko's of the year so far in UFC Atlanta.
The Premier Promotion returned to Atlanta for UFC Atlanta last Saturday with a main event with the head of Welterweights Kamaru Usman and Joaquin Buckley.
'The Nigerian nightmare' successfully broke his three fights that losing streak after a considerable time from the Octagon, who dominated Buckley through a unanimous decision.
However, it was a fight on the Undercard between the recurring Kris Moutinho and striking Bantam weight candidate Malcolm Wellmaker who eventually stealed the headlines.

Kris Moutinho suffered from one of the most brutal ko's of the year
Wellmaker only made his UFC debut earlier this year in UFC Kansas City and after Dana White gave him $ 50,000 for his One-Punch Ko, he stopped his full-time job to fully concentrate on his UFC career.
In anticipation of his collision against Moutinho, Dana White emphasized it as a UFC Atlanta fight that went under the radar and begged fans not to miss it.
And as the UFC Baas guaranteed, the fight caused fireworks from the start, while Wellmaker showed his high ceiling in the sport.
White previously mentioned Moutinho a 'Zombie' after his performance against Sean O'Malley a few years ago, and he continued to show his solid chin in Atlanta.
In the final round, however, the Kin van Moutinho burst when Wellmaker left a Heliaappse straight hook on it, planting it on the ground.
Moutinho sends a message to Dana White after loss
Not long from his devastating loss, the 32-year-old sent a message to Dana White while he was hard for his performance.
“So that f— remained, another wasted opportunity, another failure to perform, but it is what it is. God is still good, has given everything well in my life and has blessed me with that opportunity.
“Thank you everyone who got me here … Thanks to the UFC, Dana White, Sean Shelby for the chance. I appreciate you, thanks for this crazy life,” Moutinho continued in his post on Instagram.
Moutinho will again have shown his impenetrable heart and exciting fighting style, will undoubtedly get a different chance under the UFC banner.
