A 25-year-old fighter lived up to his "Mr. Highlight" nickname with a thunderous knockout victory on Fight Island at UFC 253 on Saturday.

Ludovit Klein, who had never before fought in the UFC, was brought in on late notice to take on Shane Young, who had won seven of his last eight matches.

Klein was head-hunting with little more than one minute on the clock, throwing a kick at Young's head, which staggered the City Kickboxing Academy athlete.

Klein then launched a three punch combination with predatory instincts, led with a right uppercut, sending Young to the canvas.

The ESPN MMA reporter Brett Okamoto called it an "impressive, impressive UFC debut" on Twitter, and for Klein, it was the realization of a dream.

"It's amazing, this is my biggest dream and I am very happy that I am here in the UFC," Klein said.

"This is always my style, the high kick and demolish my opponent. I am very, very happy for everything."

Klein advanced his record to 17 wins (eight knockouts, eight submissions, and one decision) against two losses.
