Tom Aspinall superbly stopped Sergei Pavlovich in the first round to win the interim heavyweight title at UFC 295 at Madison Square Garden in New York.
The Briton, 30, landed two quick left-right combinations to finish the Russian inside 69 seconds.
Aspinall took the fight on 17 days’ notice after an injury to champion Jon Jones forced him off the card.
“If you ever get the chance to do something and you’re scared to do it, you should just do it,” Aspinall said.
“It has been a crazy two and a half weeks.”
