A spokesperson for sportworldnews.org commented on the study: “UFC fights can be a savage and brutal environment and this study is a testament to how ruthless its fighters can be. Months of training for a bout can be reduced to nothing in seconds.

Overall it seems that the most common method of victory for a fast victory is a KO/TKO via punches as it features in the study four times; whilst the least likely route to a fast victory is via a submission, kick, or knee.”
