A combination of relief, surprise, and vindication triggered emotion from 6’7″ heavyweight Robelis Despaigne as he received news the UFC officially made him an offer during Sunday’s Fury FC 84 event in Houston. “It’s finally happened,” Despaigne recently told MMA Junkie. “My dream finally happened.” It was a spontaneous and unprecedented move by the UFC, specifically heavyweight division matchmaker Mick Maynard, but it came after a rare occurrence. Despaigne notched a four-second knockout against Miles Banks – consciousness snatched in the blink of an eye. The win combined with Despaigne’s two previous clocked in at a whopping total of 19 seconds. The latest finish sent the MMA social media community into a frenzy.
