Yousri Belgarui knocked out Jorden Santos in the first round at Noche UFC, recording his third UFC victory — all by knockout. Santos has now been finished in back-to-back fights.
Yousri Belgarui delivered another first-round knockout at Noche UFC on September 12, 2026, stopping Jorden Santos to record his third win inside the Octagon.
The finish was a statement performance from Belgarui, who has now won all three of his UFC bouts by knockout. That kind of consistency inside the finish makes him one of the more dangerous prospects in his division, and a first-round ending left little doubt about his finishing power.
Santos, meanwhile, has now been stopped in consecutive fights. Back-to-back finishes at this level raise questions about his path forward in the UFC, and the loss will likely prompt a hard look at his development and competition level going forward.
Why it matters
- Belgarui's three UFC wins coming entirely by knockout signals elite finishing ability and builds his reputation as a genuine threat in his weight class
- A perfect 3-0 knockout record inside the Octagon puts Belgarui in line for a step up in competition
- Santos has been finished in back-to-back bouts, which puts his UFC roster spot under pressure
- The Noche UFC platform historically draws significant viewership, meaning Belgarui's performance reached a wide audience at a high-profile event
