Marc Diakiese got kicked flush in the groin, hit with a flying knee, and submitted in a wild UFC fight that lasted less than two minutes Saturday inside the Apex facility in Las Vegas.

The 28-year-old Diakiese entered the Octagon looking to rebound from his three-round decision loss to Rafael Fiziev last year, but suffered a more brutal beating against Alves this weekend.

It looked like he was ready to knock Rafael Alves' block off when the introductions were being made on the preliminary card which was broadcast on ESPN+.

Alves faked a fist bump moments after the opening bell and eventually kicked Diakiese where it hurts.

The referee Mark Smith warned Alves, who improved his accuracy enough to start pumping heavy shots at Diakiese.

Alves landed a left hook, a flying knee, and before Diakese could recover, he got tied up in a guillotine choke and lost the fight.

Watch the finishing sequence right here:

Victory advanced Alves' pro MMA record to 20 wins (seven knockouts, eight submissions, and five decisions) against 10 losses.

Elsewhere on the card, Joel Alves destroyed Thiago Moises with elbows and punches, knockout artist Khaos Williams added another highlight to his reel against Miguel Baeza, and Felicia Spencer scored a late finish over Leah Letson.

In the main event, Max Holloway eked a five-round war against Yair Rodriguez.
