With under two minutes of the first round elapsed, Peters connected with a powerful flurry that rocked Nolan and sent him crashing to the canvas. The referee immediately stepped in, awarding Peters a TKO victory at 1:46 of Round 1.

For Peters, a former amateur MMA fighter with a penchant for early finishes, it was a perfect introduction to the Squared Circle. His ability to convert pressure into a thunderous knockout underlines his heavy-handed momentum, especially impressive given Nolan’s experience and composed demeanor.
