The 36-year-old certainly needed the win in all this. The Ghana star came into this clash with three losses under his belt with his last win coming in September 2018.

That was against Niko Price and at that time, Alhassan was a great 10-1 in his MMA career. However, the three losses certainly hurt his record after that.

However, Alhassan is now 11-4 and beating Chirico will give him another boost of confidence. He was supposed to actually face Antonio Braga Neto at UFC Vegas 29 but Neto pulled out due to undisclosed reasons.

This fight was certainly a highlight reel for Alhassan and it will be interesting to see if his KO wins the KO of the Year award in 2021.
