Sherdog’s Top 10: WEC Knockouts
No. 3
3. Rob McCullough vs. Olaf Alfonso
WEC 19
March 17, 2006 | Lemoore, Calif.
He was knocked out in 75 percent of his losses, but Alfonso was always entertaining to watch; and before he became a journeyman, he was pretty good at MMA, twice fighting for the WEC lightweight championship. McCullough was the second stop in what became a six-fight skid for the Guatemalan.
After trading some serious leather and tearing into each other throughout the first round, McCullough saw his chance. Alfonso had run out of gas, and the “Razor” capitalized. He quickly landed a left roundhouse kick to the body and followed it with a scorching straight right to the jaw. Alfonso’s mouthpiece took flight, as he collapsed to his back. Believing the fight was over, McCullough backed off and then realized there was more work to be done. The muay Thai stylist blasted his fallen foe’s legs with a few kicks before diving on top with a devastating right hand to the face. Alfonso left for dreamland, his limp body resting peacefully on the canvas 12 seconds into round two.
