Germaine de Randamie downed Aspen Ladd with one punch at UFC Sacramento in a controversial KO win. On Twitter, pro fighters reacted to the finish.
Germaine de Randamie got the job done in only 16 seconds, but not without some controversy. After catching Aspen Ladd with a hard right hand in the opening seconds of UFC Sacramento’s main event, Herb Dean waved the fight off shortly after the knockdown, while Ladd seemed to be recovering from the shot. On Twitter, pro fighters did not agree with the stoppage.

Weird stoppage ??? #UFCSacramento

Man, a couple questionable stoppages tonight. Results would have likely been the same. But, still a bit early on the stoppage. Take nothing away from the victors and those beautifully placed shots. But let them finish the job so there’s no question about it! #UFCSacramento
