Zuffa Boxing 03 results: Efe Ajagba stops Charles Martin; Umar Dzambekov, Jaybrio Pe Benito get brutal KOs

There were some massive knockouts on the main card on Sunday night at the Meta APEX

Efe Ajagba signed with Zuffa Boxing after a frustrating draw against Martin Bakole that many observers believed Ajagba deserved to win. On Sunday, Ajagba made good on a new opportunity with new promoters, finishing former IBF heavyweight champion Charles Martin with a fourth-round TKO.

Martin controlled much of the action through the first three rounds, moving around the perimeter of the ring and forcing Ajagba to come to him. Ajagba didn't utilize a jab while trying to close distance, allowing Martin to land counters and avoid the predictable right hands from Ajagba.

For all of Martin's success, heavyweight is a division where things can change in an instant, and that's exactly what happened in Round 3. With Martin moving along the ropes once again, Ajagba landed a heavy right hand that put Martin on the canvas. Martin beat the count and survived the round, but was right back down in the opening 30 seconds of the fourth round, again from a right hand.

Ajagba remained patient, hunting down Martin and continuing to land flurries of big shots until the referee was forced to jump in and halt the bout at the 1:11 mark of Round 4.

Zuffa Boxing's heavyweight division is very much still in development, but Ajagba entered the fight on the fringes of the top 10 in the world, and a big knockout win over a former world champion cements him as a man who will likely be competing for Zuffa's heavyweight title in the future.
