UFC Vegas 56: Osborne defeated Zarukh Adashev.
Audi Osborne defeated Zarukh Adashev by KO (knockouts), Round 1 – 1:01 at UFC Vegas 56 on Saturday, straight from UFC APEX in Las Vegas.
“Yeah man, John Wood is one of the best coaches in the game and we’ve worked on it… I knew he was used to seeing clean technical kits. So I knew it had to be me and fight back,” said Osborne, who called out Jeff Molina. Osbourne was able to make the entire UFC APEX cheer Ode’ before exiting the Octagon.
OH MY GOOOOOOODNESS 😱

The battle ended almost as quickly as it began. With Adashev going forward and throwing it, Osborne backed away and landed a right counter hook on the jaw that instantly brought Adashev down. Osborne jumped on top and fired a few quick shots before the referee could move and stop the fight. A superb knockout would likely earn Osborne a performance bonus at the end of the night.
With the win, Osborne improved to 11-4, with no challenger. With three wins in his last four fights, Osborne could soon enter the top 15 of the flyweight division. Adashev dropped to 4-4 in his MMA career. The former kickboxer has lost three of his last four fights and could be fired by the UFC.
Osbourne might get his wish and fight Molina in his next fight. Just minutes after being called up, Molina tweeted, “The story can get it over with.” Molina is 11-2 in his career and has won all three of his fights since joining the UFC.
