UFC Vegas 104 got off to a historically epic start thanks to two big knockouts.

In the first fight of Saturday night’s card, 6-0 flyweight Yuneisy Duben saw her hype train get quickly derailed as she suffered a brutal head kick knockout loss against Carli Judice 

Amazingly, the next fight featured two women and an even more impressive one-shot finish.

Fans have been going wild about Priscila Cachoeira vs Josiane Nunes on social media ever since.

Priscila Cachoeira’s uppercut KO terrifies fight fans

UFC Vegas 104 faced late changes as one fight canceled after multiple people missed weight on Friday.

Still, just two fights into the card, history was made after Cachoeira brutally knocked out Nunes.

It was the first time in UFC history that there has been back-to-back first-round KO’s in female fights.

A great achievement, but no one was interested in talking about that after Cachoeira’s massive win.

An uppercut made her opponent fall face-first to the floor before she rolled over and ate more punches.

They were unnecessary as Nunes was clearly out cold with her eyes wide open in a scary scene.

Thankfully, the referee stepped in and dragged Cachoeira away from her stricken foe before any big follow-up strikes landed.

Almost immediately after, fans flooded social media with comments about the sensational finish.

'What an uppercut," one fan tweeted. While another added: "BRUTAL."

“Wow," a third person posted.

"It's always the boring cards on paper that deliver," someone else said.

"Damn," this X user commented.

"Such a great finish," a sixth fan wrote.
