On the UFC 299 card, Robelis Despaigne caused havoc in his big debut in the organization.
Robelis Despaigne is known for having an extraordinary physique. The Cuban, who stands at more than 2 meters in height, is also the fighter with the longest reach in the entire UFC. Despaigne has replaced Jon Jones in this area since he signed with the premier organization last December after a 5-second knockout.
For his big debut in the UFC, ‘The Bad Boy’ pulled out all the stops and showed off his striking power. Opposed to Josh Parisian in heavyweight, he gave his American opponent no chance. In a sequence of standing exchanges, the Cuban throws punches while retreating and dries Parisian. Quickly, the referee intervenes and ends the fight. In just 18 seconds, Robelis Despaigne wins by TKO!

With this victory, Robelis Despaigne has a 5-0 record in MMA. The Cuban has a 100% first round finish rate. In his last 4 fights, he only spent 37 seconds in the cage. These surreal figures can portend great things for the future.
‘The Bad Boy’ comes from taekwondo. He was a bronze medalist in his discipline during the 2012 Olympic Games. At 35 years old today, he could do big damage in the UFC.
