UFC Fight Night 121 video highlights: Ryan Benoit KOs Ashkan Mokhtarian

Ryan Benoit seemed frustrated through much of his fight against Ashkan Mokhtarian, who did plenty of circling when he wasn’t landing his left hand. But Benoit capitalized when he needed to.

Benoit (10-5 MMA, 3-3 UFC) knocked Mokhtarian (13-3 MMA, 0-2 UFC) out with a head kick in the third round – when he potentially was down a pair of rounds on the scorecards. The end came at the 2:38 mark of the final frame.

The catchweight bout (Benoit missed the flyweight limit) closed out the preliminary card of today’s UFC Fight Night 121 event at at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney. It aired on FS1 following additional prelims on UFC Fight Pass and ahead of the main card on FS1.
