Mirsad Bektic Almost Punched A Hole In Opponent's Chest With Rare TKO Finish

It was a packed out event at UFC Charlotte this weekend and the highly rated Mirsad Bektic produced the moment of the night with a rare, terrifying TKO finish to Godofredo Pepey.

Bektic, who's last fight ended in disaster when opponent Darren Elkins knocked him out in March last year, delivered the devastating body punch in round one.

We've never seen a body shot like it. Just look at how his body folds...

Pepey rocks backwards after the punch and lands on the canvas. Bektic ends it with a combination of punches and improved his record to 12-1.

Bektic's punching power is nothing, however, compared to the world's most powerful puncher - Francis 'The Predator' Ngannou.

He broke the world record for punching power last year and at UFC 218, Ngannou pounced on the chance to prove his worth. The French fighter produced a thunderous left hook in the first round.

The time of stoppage was just 1:42:

The Cameroonian-French wrecking ball has already made a name for himself as the most terrifying fighter in the division, but he's now an even more scarier proposition after shattering the world record for punching power.

Just look at his punching power.

Thoughts on Bektic's body punch at the weekend? Is this one of the most brutal TKO's in recent months?
