Michael Johnson delivered a masterclass performance to cap off the UFC Tampa preliminary card, ending the night with a stunning knockout of Ottman Azaitar.
From the start, Johnson dominated the striking exchanges, showcasing precise techniques and repeatedly staggering Azaitar with well-timed shots. His stand-up game was on full display, keeping the German-Moroccan fighter on the back foot throughout the opening round.
In the second round, “The Menace” sealed the deal in spectacular fashion. As Azaitar advanced, Johnson unleashed a lightning-fast hook that sent his opponent crashing face-first to the canvas. Without hesitation, he followed up with two powerful shots before the referee stepped in to halt the action and ensure Azaitar’s safety.
