Jorge Masvidal’s flying knee finish over Ben Askren<\/a>, but just shy of a world record.<\/p>\nWhile it is the fastest KO of 2026, there are a few fighters tied on 3 seconds for the overall record.<\/p>\n
Woodley won’t mind too much about that though as the now 8-1 prospect has well and truly announced himself to the MMA world.<\/p>\n
“I visualised getting a five second knockout a million times,” said Woodley.<\/p>\n
“I knew I was going to run out and throw a right hand.<\/p>\n
“I thought maybe I would wrestle after, but I’m in really good shape and I believe in my cardio.<\/p>\n
“I wanted to start fast and never let up, but I felt him go stiff and I was like ‘Holy s***, I think I knocked him out’.”<\/p>\n
In victory, Woodley punches his ticket for a vacant LFA middleweight title fight against\u00a0Zayne Havener, who beat Andrew Stewart in the other semi-final.<\/p>\n
However, if the UFC comes calling after his blistering stoppage victory, Stewart insists he is ready to rise to the occasion.<\/p>\n

“Obviously, number one is the UFC so I would love to go to the UFC right now, but if it is Contender Series, it is Contender Series, or it is the LFA belt, I don’t make those decisions unfortunately,” added Stewart.<\/p>\n
“If it was up to me I’d be in the UFC, but whatever comes next I am ready.”<\/p>\n
