UFC 199 began with a bang -- hundreds of them -- as lightweights Marco Polo Reyes and Dong Hyun Kim beat the living crap out of each other in one of the most thrilling battles of the year.
With each warrior bloodied and gasping for air, it was the slightly bigger heart and determination of Reyes that proved to be the deciding factor. After surviving a barrage of punches in the second, the Mexican stormed back in the third and finally ended the trench war with a series of right hands to the head, dropping the Korean for good. The official time of the knockout came officially at 1:52 of the third.
