Nikita Krylov’s career-long pledge to make judges’ lives as easy as possible continued on Saturday night.
In 25 professional fights, Krylov has required the judges to render a decision on exactly zero occasions.
The Ukrainian light heavyweight is set for another surge up the 205lb rankings on Monday morning after putting opponent Ed Herman to sleep on the prelims of UFC 201 this weekend.
‘The Miner’ (formerly ‘Al Capone’) added another green tab to his win streak with a picture-perfect knockout over Herman in the second round to move to 21-4.
After taking a strong knee to the upper body, Krylov calmly responded with a devastating kick over his opponent’s shoulder which duly sent him to sleep in one fell swoop.

Krylov’s karate base looked like being a significant factor from the outset and that proved to be the case as he showed no telegraph when digging his left foot into the neck of ‘Short Fuse’.
Immediately, Krylov saw that Herman was out and walked away, admirably without inflicting any further damage.
Who doesn’t love Nikita Krylov? Besides Ed Herman, of course.
