‘Jiu-jitsu doesn’t work’: Pros react to Cody Brundage’s history-making second UFC Austin slam knockout
What is in the water down there in Austin?!
Just minutes after Drakkar Klose scored one of the wildest knockouts of 2023 with a slam knockout of Joe Solecki at UFC Austin, Cody Brundage repeated the favor, brutalizing Zachary Reese with a vicious slam to earn a first-round stoppage on Saturday’s undercard. There have now been 14 slam knockouts in UFC history, and somehow two of them happened in back-to-back fights at the same event.
Check out how the MMA community reacted to Brundage’s handiwork and the history-making violence unfolding at UFC Austin below.
