American Top Team middleweight Benji Radach (19-4) knocked out “Ninja” Murilo Rua (16-9-1) at 2:31 of the second round Saturday night in Sunrise, north of Miami.
Radach is expected to earn an EliteXC title shot versus fourth-ranked “Ruthless” Robbie Lawler (16-4).
“Man, I hit him so hard a lot of times,” Radach said after the referee pushed him off of Rua after landing four unanswered punches to Rua’s head as he lie on the mat.
“Ninja” had stumbled after launching a flying knee and Radach fed him a straight right, then three right hooks.
The finish resembled the entire fight: Radach landing sledgehammers to Rua’s head.
Rua was most successful on the mat in the first round when he worked a Kimura, then nearly locked in a heel hook until Radach rolled free.
