Natalia Silva literally kicked off UFC Vegas 65 with a vicious finish.
Silva took on Tereza Bleda in the opening bout of Saturday’s card at the UFC APEX. After a tough first round, Silva was able to bounce back in the second, using a large striking advantage to seemingly even things up. About a minute into Round 3, Bleda shot for another takedown, but ran into a nasty spinning back kick right to the chin which led to the fight being stopped at the 1:27 mark.
Check out video of the incredible kick below.
