UFC Fight Night 84 is underway at The O2 Arena in London, England Saturday afternoon and it didn’t take long for the action to pick up.
In just the second fight of the night, Teemu Packalen put on a show with an impressive, rapid attack to put his opponent, Thibault Gouti, away in just 24 seconds.
Packalen clipped Gouti with a perfectly timed and placed uppercut, before jumping on his injured opponent with some rapid fire ground-and-pound. Gouti attempted to roll out of danger, but Packalen used his slick submission skills to lock in the fight ending rear-naked choke.

Packalen lost his UFC debut last July against Mickael Lebout, so he has to be pleased with getting back in the win column in such a big way.
