Rising welterweight prospect, Carlston Harris, scored another first-round stoppage at UFC Vegas 37 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada, ending Impa Kasanganay with a vicious TKO stoppage.
According to fight reports, Kasanganay came out confident as he tried to close the gap and land some punches inside. However, Harris was game to exchange and seemed to have a little more pop on his shots.
Out of nowhere, Harris caught Kasanganay with a counter combination that wobbled him. Harris followed up with a flurry of punches and some vicious ground-and-pound to score the stoppage.
Harris, Guyana’s first UFC fighter, has now won his last five fights all by way of knockout or submission.
The 34-year-old now has 17 MMA wins and four losses. He was fighting for just the second time in the UFC after picking up a first-round Anaconda Choke Submission victory over American Christian Aguilera.
Kasanganay, 27, has an MMA record of 9-2, and two wins and two defeats from four UFC contests.
