American flyweight Jarred Brooks seemed to have been winning his UFC Utica matchup against opponent Jose Torres when his attempted slam unexpectedly went awry.
As Brooks picked up Torres for a throw in the second round of the opening Fight Pass of UFC Utica bout in New York, he apparently got a bit of extra leverage, which, under the most bizarre of circumstances, ended up in a botched slam knocking Brooks himself out.
While Brooks landed on his head, Torres, a former Titan FC champion, didn’t hesitate to pounce with a ground-and-pound to finish him, scoring a second-round TKO win in his promotional UFC debut.
After being finished for the first time ever, Brooks fell to 13-2, while Torres improved his record to 8-0.
