The Bellator MMA fighter Sabah Homasi knocked out his opponent with a jumping knee then mercilessly attacked him with ground-and-pound on Thursday.

Homasi defeated Bobby Voelker 20 seconds into the second round in a middleweight match at the landmark Bellator 250 event in the Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, Connecticut.

The 32-year-old fighter rehearsed the knee strike in the first round, found an opening for it again early in the second, and whacked Voelker so hard with it that it appeared to send him flying.

Voelker fell to the floor and seemed to be beaten at that moment.

But Homasi pounced and hit him with three hammer fists while he was defenseless on the floor, just to ensure he had the win secured.

Watch the highlight-reel finish here:

The victory enhanced Homasi's record to 15 wins (10 knockouts, two submissions, and three decisions) against eight losses.

His fight, the fourth bout on an eight-fight card, preceded the All Elite Wrestling competitor and former WWE star Jake Hager's blood-and-guts win over Brandon Calton.
