An MMA fighter nicknamed 'Tank' extended his winning streak with a magnificent 45-second mauling at UAE Warriors

• Tahir Abdullaev destroyed UAE Warriors opponent Daniel Skibinski at the Jiu Jitsu Arena on Friday.
• Sibinski attempted to take Abdullaev to the ground with a single-leg takedown.

ABU DHABI - An MMA fighter nicknamed "Tank" extended his winning streak with a magnificent 45-second mauling at a UAE Warriors show Insider attended Friday.

The knockout win punctuated a fun fight card at the Jiu Jitsu Arena in Abu Dhabi, as the show featured a disqualification, brutal finishes, and two UAE Warriors title fights.

Tahir Abdullaev was partly responsible as his quickfire win generated great momentum for event organizers.

The 24-year-old, who has lost just once in a 13-fight MMA career, is usually a lightweight but fought Daniel Skibinski at the welterweight limit.

The beginning of the end arrived around the 35-second mark of the opening round, when Skibinski botched a single leg takedown.

Abdullaev successfully defended the takedown attempt, and started to throw strikes with near-reckless abandon.

The first shot sent Skibinski backward and the follow-ups just caused even more damage.

Two punches put Skibinski in a position where he found it hard to defend himself, and the third - one that seemed more powerful - bounced his head off of the canvas.

"Oh, he's hurt!" One commentator could be heard saying on the UFC Fight Pass broadcast.

Before Abdullaev could throw another punch, he was shoved off of Skibinski's body by the referee, who was well-positioned to intervene and call time on the fight.

It was all over.

Watch it right here:

With victory, Abdullaev, who had never competed in the UAE Warriors before, advanced his pro MMA record to 12 wins (seven knockouts, four submissions, and one decision) against one loss.
