Welterweight prospect Gabriel Bonfim scored a highlight-reel finish in Saturday's UFC Fight Night main event, knocking out Randy Brown at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.

The stoppage came at the 1:40 mark of the second round.

Bonfim sent Brown crashing to the canvas with a vicious knee. Brown immediately covered up, but referee Mark Smith stepped in before Bonfim could land any follow-up shots. Brown protested the stoppage afterward.

Bonfim, the No. 14-ranked welterweight, extended his winning streak to four and improved to 6-1 in the UFC. Afterward, the 28-year-old Brazilian called out former interim champion Colby Covington.

Brown, unranked at 170 pounds, entered Saturday's main event off a knockout win over Nicolas Dalby in April. The 35-year-old is 1-2 in his last three outings.
