Michael Johnson Knocks Out Ottman Azaitar in First Round of UFC Bout

In his thirtieth fight at the UFC, Michael Johnson signed a resounding KO victory over the Moroccan Ottman Azaitar. The confrontation, which took place on Saturday, saw Johnson end the fight in the first round, inflicting a humiliating defeat on his opponent.

The outcome of the fight was decided on a quick and decisive action. Azaitar rushed to the attack, but Johnson was able to exploit this momentum. A series of precise counters, ending with a powerful right hook, hit Azaitar on the chin.

The blow was so violent that the Moroccan was immediately knocked unconscious. Johnson then continued his ground offensive, delivering a few more blows before referee Jason Herzog intervened, stopping the fight after only two minutes and three seconds.

For Ottman Azaitar, this defeat is a hard blow. It was his first fight since July 2023, and this defeat brings to three the number of his consecutive losses, strongly contrasting with his promising beginnings marked by twelve consecutive victories.
