Ramiz Brahimaj lived out a dream Saturday at Madison Square Garden when he knocked out opponent Mickey Gall in the first round in front of the New York faithful.
A Bronx native, Brahimaj (11-5 MMA, 3-3 UFC) cracked Gall (7-7 MMA, 6-7 UFC) with a big overhand right on the UFC 309 prelims. Gall crashed to the canvas and absorbed a few more shots before the fight was waved off.
