One look at the size difference between Marcel Fortuna and Anthony Hamilton should have been enough for the average person to think the UFC newcomer had no chance.
But Fortuna (9-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC), a 205-pounder who took a short-notice fight against heavyweight Anthony Hamilton (15-7 MMA, 3-5 UFC) in order to get into the UFC, pulled off a stunning first-round knockout that won him a $50,000 bonus award – despite a nearly 50-pound weight deficit.
The heavyweight fight was part of UFC Fight Night 104, which took place Saturday at Toyota Center in Houston. The card aired on FS1 following early prelims on UFC Fight Pass.
Check out the highlights of Fortuna’s debut victory above.
