Jimmie Rivera kept an unbeaten streak alive across nearly 10 years and 20 fights. It came to an end in just 33 seconds once he met Marlon Moraes.

Moraes destroyed Rivera with a highlight-reel head-kick KO in the opening seconds of his headlining fight Friday night at the Adirondack Bank Center at UFC Utica. The performance marked the second of its kind in a row for the former WSOF bantamweight champion, as Moraes needed just 67 seconds to do the same to Aljamain Sterling last December. After brutal back-to-back knockouts and another win over John Dodson, should Moraes be the next man to vie for the bantamweight title?

Check out reaction to Moraes’ sensational performance below, plus the best of the rest from a busy night at UFC Utica.

WALT HARRIS DEF. DANIEL SPITZ

I feel that was the best Harris has ever looked in the octagon. Fast twitch muscles like that at HWT is a SCARY thing! Great feints, good combinations, and being patient helped him secure the TKO finish. #UFCUtica — Aljamain Sterling (@FunkMaster_UFC) June 2, 2018

It was all @thebigticket205 throughout. Speed, combos, pressure and he gets the finish in round 2. #UFCUtica — Kenny Florian (@kennyflorian) June 2, 2018

Crazy Spitz corner was yelling “he’s fine” to the ref. He didn’t look fine. #ufc — Chris Camozzi (@ChrisCamozzi) June 2, 2018

Harris is fittin to have a wardrobe malfunction #UFCUtica — Angela Hill (@AngieOverkill) June 2, 2018

Walt hit dude with a HEATER!!! #UFCUtica — Mike Jackson, Esq. (@TheTruthJackson) June 2, 2018

Good work @thebigticket205 — Platinum Mike Perry (@PlatinumPerry) June 2, 2018

JULIO ARCE DEF. DANIEL TEYMUR

Who else thinks Arce looks like the lovechild of Rafael Assuncão and the Nogueira brothers? #UFCUtica — Michael Chandler (@MikeChandlerMMA) June 2, 2018

After weigh in yesterday I couldn’t be happier to see l Teymur finished. Punks it yesterday to make up for what he was lacking.... Great win for Arce #UFCUtica — Damien Brown (@beatdown155) June 2, 2018

Pay this man #UFCUtica — Shane Burgos (@HurricaneShaneB) June 2, 2018

Arce is a stud! A sleeper at the weight because he’s quiet but don’t let that fool you! Lol #UFCUtica — Aljamain Sterling (@FunkMaster_UFC) June 2, 2018

SAM ALVEY DEF. GIAN VILLANTE

@smilensam will catch you sleeping — tim means (@MeansTim) June 2, 2018

If you have a guy that can crack like Alvey can. Why not look for a takedown when you back him to the cage?? — Will Brooks (@ILLxWillBrooks) June 2, 2018

That knock down define the fight #UFCUtica — Chito Vera (@chitoveraUFC) June 2, 2018

I’m bias but I had Villante winning rd s 2 and 3. Till wins by forward pressure but not Villante? How did you score it? — Chris Camozzi (@ChrisCamozzi) June 2, 2018

Sam Alvey just wins! #UFCUtica — Derek Brunson (@DerekBrunson) June 2, 2018

I like that Sam Alvey put his shirt on backwards — Al Iaquinta (@ALIAQUINTA) June 2, 2018

For everyone calling me and texting me about the Sam Alvey call out.. at the same time he called me out I got a call that my uncle died. Please let me have this time with my father. Thanks — Corey Anderson UFC (@CoreyA_MMA) June 2, 2018
