MMA fans witnessed some jaw-dropping finishes in the UFC in April 2022. The promotion kicked off the month with UFC 273 and followed up the pay-per-view with three Fight Night events over the next three weekends.
In the main event of the pay-per-view, featherweight king Alexander Volkanovski broke his run of four consecutive decision victories, picking up his first finish since 2019. 'The Great' successfully defended his 145-pound title in style, finishing Chan Sung Jung via TKO to cap off a near-perfect performance.
There weren't too many finishes at UFC 273, with nine out of 12 bouts going to the judges' scorecards. However, the subsequent Fight Nights made up for it, delivering numerous stoppages.
On that note, here are the five best finishes of April 2022.
#5. Mike Malott def. Mickey Gall – UFC 273
Mickey Gall has endured a tumultuous run in the UFC since joining the promotion in 2016. He gained quite a bit of notoriety following his submission victory over WWE star CM Punk but has struggled to build on the win since then. At UFC 273, Gall took on promotional newcomer Mike Malott.
Malott joined the promotion following an impressive outing on Dana White's Contender Series. The Canadian was primarily known as a coach before taking his fighting career to a new level, and showed off his undeniable talent against Gall on the preliminary card of April's marquee event.
Just under four minutes into the bout, Malott caught Gall with a slick right hand, sending him crashing to the canvas. After a few follow-up shots, the referee called a halt to the action, handing 'Proper' a memorable octagon debut.
Poor auld Mickey Gall that was some left hook from Mike Malott #UFC273 https://t.co/eM1ldfYQin
