It did not take long for UFC 217 to start delivering on it's hype, with a stunning head-kick KO coming in the second preliminary fight of one of the biggest cards of the year.
Ovince Saint Preux vs Corey Anderson would probably be a main event on a UFC fight night card, but such is the quality on offer in Madison Square Garden it was earlier than usual. Those who tuned in from the start of the show were rewarded as OSP claimed a third-round win in spectacular fashion.
Anderson was arguably ahead on the scorecards when Saint Preux flashed a left leg and took the judges out of the equation in the third round.

The walk-off KO, he knew there was no coming back from that.
OSP was a replacement opponent for Anderson after Patrick Cummins pulled out, and is now on a three-fight win-streak having fought four times in 2017 already.
A good start for UFC 217.
