Justin Watson set a record with a two-second knockout at BKFC 69, the fastest in bare-knuckle fighting history, defeating Cole Ferrell with a single punch and achieving a historic upset.
Justin Watson might’ve just set an unbreakable record. At BKFC 69 on Friday night, he unleashed a lightning-fast two-second knockout. The fastest in bare-knuckle history! One punch, and Cole Ferrell was out.
In the blink of an eye, it was over. The ref started the fight, Watson threw an overhand right, and Ferrell hit the canvas face-first. Just like that.
Didn’t take long for the referee to call it. He waved off the action, and Watson’s celebration began. A moment etched in combat sports lore.
This stunning knockout eclipses Uly Diaz’s three-second KO from 2020. Many thought Diaz’s record would stand forever—until Watson had his say.
Even BKFC co-owner Conor McGregor chimed in on Instagram: “the world’s fastest KO! Wow!” High praise from a legend himself.
Adding to the drama, Watson entered the fight as a big underdog. An upset victory that now shines brightly in BKFC—and perhaps all of combat sports—history.
And oh, here’s a fun fact: sometimes records are meant to be broken… or maybe not?
