The term “starched” is one of those terms in combat sports journalism that has been so overused that it tends to elicit more eye-rolls than anything else. But sometimes there’s just no better way to describe what happened to a fighter. Case in point: Khaos Williams’ 30 second KO of the always-dangerous Abdul Razak Alhassan. A perfect punch to the chin, and Alhassan went flat like an ironing board.
If you’re keeping track at home, that’s two knockouts in two UFC fights, for a grand total of 57 combined seconds in the Octagon. If the welterweight division hadn’t noticed already, they’re noticing now.
“This feels amazing. This is more important than that first one for me. I came in with a splash, let the division know, let the world know I was here and this one just let everybody know it wasn’t no fluke. This is more important than my debut.

“This dude had ten wins, ten knockouts in the first round. I hope he is alright. This is a sport, so I never want anybody to really get seriously hurt, but while I’m in there, it’s really kill or be killed, but outside of it, it’s all love. I hope he’s alright, but, like I said, he’s a knockout artist himself and I just knocked out a knockout artist. I let my hands speak for themselves.”
