You know you're good when you question a seven second knockout. Todd Duffee walked across the Octagon and floored Tim Hague with a jab. Down went the big Canadian where he was greeted with eight more shots in five seconds. A left on the ground made Hague go limp, that's when referee Mario Yamasaki jumped in to give Duffee the knockout victory in UFC debut at 4:53 of the first round in the third fight of the night at UFC 102 in Portland.

When asked about the seven second win, Duffee said, "I think it was six seconds."

The knockout was a UFC record surpassing the previous mark of eight seconds set by James Irvin over Houston Alexander at Ultimate Fight Night 13 and Don Fyre over Thomas Ramirez at UFC 8.

Duffee (6-0, 1-0 UFC), who looks like Brock Lesnar Jr., at a muscular 6-foot-4, 251 pounds obviously possesses massive power. The 23-year-old fights out of American Top Team in South Florida and now has six victories all by knockout.

CHICAGO COP RUSSOW PUT THE SHACKLES ON MCCULLY

If you can't wrestle don't step in the cage with Mike Russow. A former collegiate wrestler at Eastern Illinois, Russow took Justin McCully down at will. "The Insane One" didn't even challenge to get back to his feet. The only times McCully got up was when referee Herb Dean forced the fight back up. Russow threatened with a kimura at the end of each round but couldn't finish things. He still rolled to a unanimous decision (30-27 on all three cards) victory.






Todd Duffee may well be a newcomer to UFC, but he certainly made his mark at last night’s UFC 102 event in Portland, when he took on Tim Hague and won the fight, with a knockout after only 7 seconds of the first round.

But according to mmajunkie.com, Duffee may well have set a record for the fastest knockout in UFC history, but that isn’t necessarily the record that he is most concerned with. Duffee says he is young and he wants to build his record.

Although the newcomer says, that you can’t really evaluate from Saturday night’s performance, as Hague didn’t really give him a chance to prove himself. Duffee now hopes that another chance comes up quite quickly for him.
