The UFC got one hell of a birthday treat.

Yair Rodriguez defeated "The Korean Zombie" Chan Sung Jung with a spectacular last-second knockout in the main event of UFC's 25th-anniversary celebration show in Denver.

After a moment of respect for their five-round war, Rodriguez and Jung reengaged furiously until the former unleashed a perfectly timed backward elbow to send his opponent crashing to the mat.

According to MMAFighting.com's Shaheen Al-Shatti, the judges had Jung ahead prior to the knockout. Rodriguez moved to 11-2 with the win, while Jung dropped to 14-5 after just his second fight since 2013.
