UFC 262: Live updates, results as Jordan Wright lands stunning KO

Some slick finishes to kick off UFC 262 got fight fans in the mood for the main course as the preliminary card started with brutal knockouts and classy submissions.

Charles Oliveira’s fight against Michael Chandler is the headliner and there’s plenty of interest in the co-main event between Tony Ferguson and Beneil Dariush too.

Christos Giagos started proceedings in Houston by choking out Sean Soriano before Priscila Cachoeira clobbered Gina Mazany to secure a second-round stoppage.

The most savage blow was delivered by Jordan Wright, who knocked out Jamie Pickett in the first round. Wright took the fight to the ground and unloaded with a series of powerful punches to the head before landing two painful knees as Pickett scrambled to his feet and tried to retreat.

But the man known as the “Beverly Hills Ninja” went for the kill, chasing his rival to the other side of the Octagon and collecting him with yet another terrifying knee that dropped Pickett to the canvas. Some vicious ground and pound gave the referee no choice but to jump in and wave the fight off after just 64 seconds to protect a defenceless Pickett from copping any further punishment.

Wright showed his respect after the demolition job, bowing towards his latest victim.
