Nineteen-year-old phenom Sage Northcutt needed just 57 seconds to tear through his first fight at UFC 192 on Saturday night in Houston.
Northcutt (5-0) is a highly-touted prospect out of Texas, who was the center of attention for a big part of fight week while making his UFC debut.
The teenager wasted no time going after his opponent Francisco Trevino as he trapped the veteran fighter against the cage and started unloading a huge flurry of punches.
Trevino had no answer except to try and weather the storm, but Northcutt continued his onslaught by scooping his opponent up for a takedown and dumping him on the mat.
The Texan followed up with a lightning-fast series of elbows and punches while Trevino turtled up on the canvas with nowhere to go.
A few moments later, referee Herb Dean saw enough and called a stop to the fight 57 seconds into the first round. Trevino popped up from the canvas and complained about the stoppage, but the replay was clear that he was eating a lot of shots and not doing much to defend himself.
"This feels amazing, it's such an honor to be here," Northcutt said after the win. "The crowd, everyone around the UFC, were all amazing and this was just an incredible experience. I've been training for this since I was four years old.
