Jorge Masvidal was definitely impressed with how his iKON FC 4 main card got kicked off.
iKON FC 4 took place Friday in Savannah, Georgia, and the main card started off with a bantamweight bout between Malcolm Wellmaker and Langston Sykes.
It turned out to be Wellmaker’s night as he proceeded to land a left hand that not only knocked Sykes out, but faceplanted him on the ground.
Wellmaker landed one follow-up shot before the referee pushed him away to give him the victory.
Masvidal — who was ringside — got up to his feet and applauded. Wellmaker made his way to Masvidal soon after as the pair embraced each other.
