Alex Garcia woke up the Las Vegas crowd at UFC 207 with a massive knockout blow to Mike Pyle.

Amanda Nunes takes just 48 seconds to destroy Ronda Rousey to retain her belt

The two welterweights went head-to-head on the undercard of the final UFC event of 2016 and may __have just sneaked onto the knockout highlight reel.

Garcia came out as the aggressor from the bell of the first round and scored an early takedown on Pyle in an attempt to assert his dominance.

UFC 207 Undercard Results

Neil Magny def. Johny Hendricks – UD
Antonio Carlos Junior def. Marvin Vettori – UD
Alex Garcia def. Mike Pyle – first-round KO (3:34)
Niko Price def. Brandon Thatch – arm-triangle choke (R1: 4:30)
Alex Oliveira vs. Tim Means ruled no-contest

But the takedown was not well executed by Garcia and Pyle was easily able to escape and return to his feet.

Pyle may __have easily regained his feet, but he was soon out cold on the canvas when Garcia’s massive right hand connected brutally with his jaw.

Garcia held off on his celebrations before Pyle was conscious again and received treatment.

Pyle though was soon back up as Garcia followed up his loss to Sean Strickland in February with a win.

Garcia may have gotten his UFC career back on track, but Pyle has now suffered back-to-back defeats and has just one win from five UFC fights.
