In the fight, Kalyl Silva was facing Paulo Roberto dos Santos Nascimento. The previous three rounds were as entertaining as they could be. However, it was the fourth round that made the arena explode. The champ scored a KO within 8 seconds!
Kalyl’s opponent was attempting to scare him as soon as the round began. Nascimento went ahead with an attempt of a kick as soon as he got a chance, and then another. However, Kalyl dodged both kicks successfully and returned a deadly counter. In one kick, the opponent collapsed to the ground.
