Ateba Gautier showed patience before delivering the fight finishing shot at UFC 328

NEWARK, NEW JERSEY - MAY 09: (R-L) Ateba Gautier of Cameroon punches Ozzy Diaz in a middleweight fight during the UFC 328 event at Prudential Center on May 09, 2026 in Newark, New Jersey. (Photo by Ed Mulholland/Zuffa LLC) Ateba Gautier was one of the biggest favorites at UFC 328 and he delivered an emphatic knockout over Ozzy Diaz to cap off the prelims on Saturday night. Despite his dominant run through the UFC thus far, Gautier was somehow criticized for going to a decision last time out but in his return, he showed patience until Diaz threw out a lazy jab and the counter was a devastating overhand right that ended the fight.

As soon as Gautier connected, Diaz folded and dropped to the ground with the referee rushing in to stop the fight before any more punishment was dished out. THE STORM IS COMING ๐ŸŒฉ๏ธ ATEBA GAUTIER KNOCKOUT ๐Ÿ“บ @paramountplus pic. twitter.

Exactly what weโ€™ve been doing all this week and I did it. โ€œTo be honest, my dream fight would be against Israel Adesanya. I really want to fight.
