American-Armenian Isaac “The Midwest Choppa” Dulgarian defeated American Teejay Britton to win the Fighting Alliance Featherweight Championship and secure a UFC contract while doing so, Zartonk Media reports.

He needed only 1 minute and 13 seconds to defeat his opponent with a devastating KO, improving his record to 5-0 with 5 knock outs.

This fight was in front of Dana White, the president of UFC, as part of his “Dana White: Lookin’ for a Fight” series. For this event, White was joined by YouTube stars The Nelk Boys, who offered one fighter a brand sponsorship from their merchandise line Full Send. The fighter they picked has not yet been announced.

“Last night I told myself I needed to do something special to change my life. That’s exactly what I did recording another first round knockout in dramatic fashion!! Not only was I able to secure the FAC featherweight title, but I also took my UFC contract by force,” stated Dulgarian on his Instagram.

Currently, there are six active Armenian male UFC fighters. On February 26th, both Arman Tsarukyan and Armen Petrosyan will fight.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
