If you subscribe to the theory that flyweights don’t finish fights, you may want to change your mind after watching this, from newly-crowned Cage Fury Fighting Championships flyweight champion Santo Curatolo . On a night of fights that saw five of the six UFC Fight Pass-streamed bouts produce first-round stoppages, Curatolo (5-0) stole the show with a stunning left hand that finished his flyweight title fight with James Mancini after just 65 seconds. Curatolo calmly stalked Mancini (6-5) around the cage at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia before dropping his man hard with a lead left hook – his first serious punch of the fight – to force the referee to dive in and stop the fight. https://twitter.com/UFCFightPass/status/1293734824184864768 The victory saw Curatolo capture the vacant CFFC flyweight title and place himself firmly in the mix for a potential UFC – or Contender Series – call-up.
