Destroys Abdul Razak Alhassan
Williams defeated Abdul Razak Alhassan via KO (punch) at 0:30 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Khaos, indeed. There isn't a ton to break down here from a technical standpoint. Williams -- who entered as a +185 underdog -- blasted his overweight opponent with massive right hand down the middle and that was all she wrote. Referee Mark Smith was there to step in immediately but it was clear as day the fight was over. The power of Williams is truly terrifying. In his first two UFC bouts, he has knocked out Alhassan and Alex Morono (who won earlier Saturday) in a combined 57 seconds. There needs to be a congressional investigation if Khaos doesn't walk away with a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus after this one.

Booked for Nov. 14 fight
Williams will fight Abdul Razak Alhassan at a UFC event in Las Vegas on Nov. 14, Marcel Dorff of MMADNA reports.
ANALYSIS
Williams will be making his return to the cage for the first time since February when he made his UFC debut by defeating Alex Morono via a second-round TKO (punches). Alhassan is coming off a loss via unanimous decision to Mounir Lazzez back in July but should still figure to have the upper hand over a very inexperienced opponent in Williams.

Draws Staropoli in second UFC bout
Williams (10-1-0) is scheduled to take on Laureano Staropoli (9-2-0) in a welterweight fight March 28 at UFC on ESPN 8.
ANALYSIS
"The Oxfighter" will report to Vegas as a late-notice replacement for Phil Rowe, who withdrew from the event, which was initially booked for Columbus. It's the second UFC fight for Williams, who scored a first-round knockout win over Alex Morono in his promotional debut at UFC 247 in Houston back on Feb. 8.

Wins UFC debut in enemy territory
Williams defeated Alex Morono via KO (punches) at 0:27 of Round 1 at UFC 247 on Saturday in Houston.
ANALYSIS
Khaos brought the chaos. Entering as a substantial (+325) underdog and going up against a Houston native in his hometown, Williams came out aggressively and took Morono's best punch before delivering a few of his own. Morono hadn't been knocked out since way back in 2013 and Williams finished him off in just 27 seconds. Khaos entered the UFC with very little hype and it's fair to wonder if this result is a bit of a fluke, but the power of Williams is very clearly legitimate. Don't be surprised if we see Khaos return to the Octagon sooner rather than late. Meanwhile, he'll take home a $50,000 performance bonus for his efforts.
