Dustin Jacoby ensured that his 0 was not the right one.
In a battle of streaking light heavyweights, the former kickboxing standout scored his most impressive knockout inside the octagon after flooring Da Un Jung (15-3-1) with a right hand a little over three minutes into the opening round of their UFC Long Island preliminary contest. Jacoby (18-5-1) then walked off to signal the end of the fight before referee Kevin MacDonald even had a chance to make it official.

Jung was content to stand with the striking specialist, but Jacoby eventually caught him with a counter left that created the opening for the finish. Jacoby responded with a jab, and then uncorked his right hand on the button. Jung was placed on his backside. The bout was officially waved off at the 3:13 mark of Round 1, with only a mild protest from Jung over the stoppage.
With the win, Jacoby is now 6-0-1 since rejoining the UFC in October 2020. This includes his four consecutive wins, which include a draw with Ion Cutelaba at UFC Vegas 25..
Jung loses for the first time in six UFC appearances. Kennedy Nzechukwu had knocked him out in the first round of his last fight. He was his only winner. His UFC record now sits at 4-1-1.
