Welcome
the UFC, Josh Quinlan.
The
Hawaii native has claimed a stunning one-punch knockout
victory on his UFC debut, defeating American opponent
Jason Witt in the first round of Sunday morning’s
catchweight contest in San Diego.
Quinlan
needed just over two minutes to send his rival to
the canvas, throwing a well-directed hard counter
left as Witt attacked his body with a kick.

ORDER
NOW
The
29-year-old initially dived in for a follow-up after
Witt flopped to the floor, but he thankfully restrained
from attacking his dazed opponent.
“Sometimes
you have to do follow-up punches … you don’t
know if he’s going to recover,” Quinlan
told reporters after the victory.
“Even
though he hit the ground, I didn’t know if he
was out or not — I didn’t know if he was
going to pop up or if he was going to regain his bearings.
“I
pounced on him, I was going to throw a couple more
blows, but I saw he kind of went limp a little bit
and the ref kind of called it out as well.
“I’m
glad I was able to have that restraint, but that might
not be the case all the time.
“We’re
going in there to finish our opponent, and he’s
going in to finish me, so I want to make sure the
job’s done.
“We
have to go until we’re told to stop, but I’m
glad I was able to keep my composure … I’m
not looking to hurt people in there, but we’re
trying to bring out the best martial arts in each
other.”
What
a shot!! And what control to hold back from the follow
up shot!! #UFCSanDiego Congrats to Josh Quinlan https://t.co/Pk9EfA4vfm

Remarkable restraint from Josh Quinlan earlier in
not landing extra shots on Jason Witt. That look in
his eyes is scary! #UFCSanDiego
