Jordan Wright lived up to his reputation as a fast finisher once again against Jamie Pickett at UFC 262.

Wright (12-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC) needed just 64 seconds to stop Pickett (11-6 MMA, 0-2 UFC) with strikes in their middleweight preliminary card bout on Saturday at the Toyota Center in Houston.

Pickett made the error of trying to push Wright against the cage in the opening moments. He was met with a brutal assault of elbows that hurt him, and from there he was in survival mode. Wright attacked with vicious knees and punches, and then got the stoppage shortly thereafter.

A jubilant Wright said he was happy to get the job done in front of an audience for the first time in his octagon tenure.

“As soon as I saw his legs buckle I knew it was a matter of time,” Wright said in his post-fight interview with Joe Rogan. “I have a 100 percent finish rate and I can tell when people are hurt.”
