The result

Bilal Hasan def. Nilson Rojas — KO/TKO (punch), R2 2:28

Bilal Hasan stayed perfect with a one-punch knockout of Nilson Rojas, dropping him with a straight right in round two after a competitive opening frame.

The finish extended Hasan's record to 10-0 and came just eighteen days after he'd stopped an opponent in 45 seconds on Dana White's Contender Series.

It's the first pro loss of Rojas's career, who fell to 9-1 in a promotional debut that started well before the finish came.

The breakdown below was written before the fight.

The read

Two unbeaten finishers on short notice makes this one of the card's wilder wildcards.

Hasan's technical striking and craft give him a slight edge on paper, but Rojas's power and forward pressure have carried him through tougher volume before.

Expect a fast-paced, finish-heavy fight with either man live to end it inside two rounds.

This is a debut clash between two undefeated flyweight prospects who both like to finish fights on the feet.

Hasan brings a taekwondo base and craft from his eight prior stoppages, while Rojas is a heavier, more forward-moving puncher who has ended most of his own wins with volume.

Neither man has faced this level of competition before, so how each handles the step up is the biggest variable.
