UFC Vegas 123 video: Julian Erosa retires after wild 91-second comeback knockout

Former UFC featherweight contender Julian Erosa delivered a dramatic retirement fight at UFC Vegas 123, stunning Jeong Yeong Lee with a first-round knockout in just 91 seconds. The victory marked Erosa’s (31-14) return after back-to-back losses, including a unanimous decision defeat to Melquizael Costa and a controversial stoppage loss to Lerryan Douglas, as he sought to cap off his storied career on a high note.

The bout, part of a stacked featherweight card, also featured a brutal late-round TKO by OKTAGON double champion Lucia Szabova in her UFC debut, adding to the event’s high-energy atmosphere. Meanwhile, the main event saw Renato Moicano and Tom Nolan battle to a split decision, with Moicano securing a narrow win in a closely contested fight.

The night’s action was punctuated by a shocking cut on Lee, reminiscent of past UFC hallmarks, as Erosa’s explosive finish cemented his legacy with a memorable farewell performance.
