Dustin Jacoby has just pulled off an absolute shocker of a result.

Jacoby needed just one punch to pull off a third-round knockout of Vitor Petrino during the main card of UFC Tampa.

The fight featured plenty of back and forth from both men. They looked to stay patient, but the Brazilian was arguably landing the more effective strikes.

But just when it looked like he would get his hand raised in a decision, “The Hanyak” changed things out of nowhere, landing a perfectly timed right hand to knock Petrino out cold.

Fans reacted to the brutal result, with many comparing the manner of it to Kamaru Usman’s one-shot KO of Jorge Masvidal in 2021.

After going 6-0-1 to start his UFC career following an appearance on Dana White’s Contender Series, Jacoby had lost four of five entering UFC Tampa and was likely fighting for his job.

Petrino, after an 11-0 start to his professional MMA career, has now lost back-to-back fights. He was finished by Anthony Smith earlier this year at UFC 301.

Dominick Reyes scores his first win in four years, KO's Dustin Jacoby in round one - UFC Louisville Highlights

Dominick Reyes stormed back into the win column at UFC Louisville, scoring his first victory in more than four years.

Stepping inside the Octagon against Dustin Jacoby, things were relatively reserved between the two fighters. 90 seconds into the bout, Jacoby picked up the pace and began walking down Reyes. Pressed against the cage, ‘The Devastator’ uncorked a looping left hand that caught Jacoby.

Jacoby quickly backed up and Reyes began his pursuit, unleashing a flurry of strikes punctuated by a knee up the middle that caught Jacoby. With ‘The Hanyak’ out on his feet, the referee had no choice, but to step in and call for the stoppage at two minutes on the dot.

Official Result: Dominick Reyes def. Dustin Jacoby via TKO (strikes) at 2:00 of Round 1.

Dustin Jacoby is coming off a huge win this past Saturday at UFC: Long Island, but he has some great things to say about Alex Pereira, his former opponent at Glory kickboxing.

Jacoby knocked out up and coming prospect Jung Da Un in his most recent fight, continuing to climb the ranks of the Light Heavyweight division. He is one of the best up and coming fighters int he division, and has made a name for himself with his striking and toughness.

Jacoby is known for having. pretty good chin on him, but he has been knocked out before from the hands of Pereira back in his days as a kickboxer for Glory. It remains to be the only time Jacoby has been knocked out clean in his professional career.

Pereira is also making a name for himself quickly inside the octagon. In very little time with the UFC, he has had a few mesmerizing knockouts. He took a huge jump in competition when he accepted a fight against title contender, Sean Strickland. He made quick work of Strickland by putting his lights out in the first round, while barely taking any damage himself.

Dustin Jacoby has touched on Alex Pereira’s superhuman like power in a recent interview

When asked if Pereira was the hardest hitter he has ever fought against, Jacoby was quick to answer.

“No. 1, hands down. It’s not even a close comparison,” Jacoby said. “Dude, I have a great chin. That’s not something to be real proud of, but if you’re going to be fighting people for a living, you better bring that to the table. If you’ve got a good chin, you’ve got a good chance of staying the fight. And with him, he just touches people different.” (Transcribed by MMAFighting)

Jacoby believes that Pereira has a real chance of beating Israel Adesanya and putting his light out again, if ‘Izzy’ isn’t careful. Pereira had beaten Adesanya twice in his kickboxing career, one time by knowing the current Middleweight champion out cold.
