UFC on ESPN 64 video: Ateba Gautier blasts Jose Daniel Medina with violent knee knockout

Ateba Gautier, welcome to the UFC.

In the UFC on ESPN 64 featured prelim Saturday at CDMX Arena in Mexico City, Gautier (7-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) blasted Jose Daniel Medina (11-4 MMA, 0-2) with a brutal knee knockout that ended the fight at 3:32 of Round 1.

While Medina was all smiles, including when Gautier tagged him in one of the first (and only) exchanges, Gautier remained zoned in. He backed Medina against the fence and eventually blasted him with a perfectly-timed standing knee.

Cameroon’s Gautier has a successful promotional debut after a similarly violent UFC contract-earning knockout of Yura Naito on Dana White’s Contender Series in September.

Bolivia’s Medina falls into a three-fight skid. Despite a loss on Dana White’s Contender Series in 2023, the UFC CEO liked Medina’s heart and signed him to a contract anyway. He then lost his UFC debut to Zach Reese in August.
