His name is Junior Karanta, but apparently you can just call him “Fatty.” It doesn’t make much sense for a hulking 6-foot-6 Swedish heavyweight, but after watching Karanta (2-0) destroy Adel Ghaddou (3-7) in just eight seconds at Cage Warriors 86, I’m sure not going to try and explain the fault in his logic. Karanta’s scintillating performance kicked off the main card of today’s UFC Fight Pass-streamed event at the Indigo at The O2 in London. “Fatty” walked forward at the opening bell, landed a huge right hand to send opponent Adel Ghaddou to the canvas and then finished the job with a few more shots on the floor before referee Marc Goddard called a merciful end to the one-sided shellacking. 10 seconds in and we already have a knockout from Junior Karanta!! #CW86 pic.twitter.com/mxUQ8d2Del — UFC Fight Pass (@UFCFightPass) September 16, 2017 For the record, Karanta is now 2-0 with just 58 seconds of total cage time between the two victories
