Jan Blachowicz made sure Luke Rockhold's debut at 205 pounds was a short one.
The Polish light heavyweight knocked out the former middleweight champion with a huge left hook during the second round of Saturday's bout at UFC 239.
Rockhold appeared to be stunned by a late kick at the end of the opening round, but officials confirmed it connected before the bell.
