A KO artist hit his opponent so hard their body slammed the canvas and the noise could be heard through the arena

• Andre Fialho - remember the name.
• The Portuguese knockout puncher scored another highlight-reel finish Friday.

ABU DHABI - A heavy-hitting striker called Andre Fialho dazzled in a quick-fire first-round knockout win at a UAE Warriors event Insider attended Friday at the Jiu Jitsu Arena in Abu Dhabi.

An elbow smash as brilliant and beautiful as it was brutal marked the beginning of the end for Stefan Sekulic in the welterweight contest - one of many fights at the UAE Warriors 24 show.

On-form Fialho hit Sekulic with the strike while his back was to the fence. He then struck him with afters once he had scored the initial damage, and the impact the shots had on his opponent was significant.

Sekulic, whose arm hit the canvas with a bang that echoed through the hall, was lying on his back, motionless, and unconscious for an uncomfortable period of time.

"It's over!" A UFC Fight Pass commentator screamed during the live stream - and it was, as there was no getting up from that for Sekulic.

Fialho, meanwhile, patrolled the outskirts of the cage while eyeing those in attendance as if to say we all knew who the boss of combat at that period in time was.

It was Fialho.

And you can see his finish right here:

Sekulic, a two-time UFC veteran, saw his pro MMA record retreat to 14 wins (three knockouts, six submissions, and five decisions) against five losses, after Friday's defeat.

Fialho entered the cage on a three-fight winning run and advanced his overall record to 14 wins (11 knockouts, one submission, and two decisions) against three losses.
