After a long card filled with a record-tying amount of decision, the UFC Fight Night 101 headliner delivered a big finish when Robert Whittaker kept his undefeated record at middleweight in tact with a victory over Derek Brunson in Saturday’s headliner at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

Brunson (16-4 MMA, 7-2 UFC) started the fight quickly and tried to put Whittaker (17-4 MMA, 8-2 UFC) away with a flurry of strikes. He couldn’t finish the job, though, and once “The Reaper” recovered, he found a home for a big head kick which stunned his opponent and led to the first-round stoppage.

Check below for the top Twitter reactions to Whittaker’s victory over Brunson at UFC Fight Night 101.

Derek Brunson fought like he was more worried about keeping his 1st round KO streak and less about giving himself the best chance at victory

Damnnn!! Whittaker is no joke! Stayed calm thru the Brunson onslaught, and capitalized on an opening with a BIG left hand!#UFCMelbourne
