Jacoby's KO win: Referee error delays victory
8 Feb
Summary
- Jacoby secured a knockout victory in the second round.
- Referee mistakenly allowed the fight to continue post-knockdown.
- Jacoby aims for a spot on the UFC White House card in June.
Dustin Jacoby achieved a knockout victory at UFC Vegas 113, but the conclusion was marked by a moment of confusion. Jacoby landed a significant straight punch that sent Julius Walker to the canvas, seemingly ending the bout. However, referee Dan Miragliotta, in his 500th UFC fight, instructed them to continue.
Jacoby then resumed his offense, delivering more strikes until Walker ultimately succumbed to the pressure. The fight officially ended at 1:42 of the second round. Jacoby expressed relief and excitement about the win, noting his initial thought that the fight was over.
Walker had found some success earlier with takedowns in the first round, but Jacoby managed to regain his footing. The win marks Jacoby's third consecutive knockout, and he is now hoping to be included in the UFC's White House event scheduled for June 14.
