UFC Baku Highlights! Daniil Donchenko Smokes Newcomer With Nasty Head Kick TKO
· Yahoo Sports
Daniil Donchenko continued his impressive UFC start earlier today (Sat., June 27, 2026) at UFC Baku LIVE on Paramount+ from inside National Gymnastics Arena in Baku, Azerbaijan, putting a stop to Octagon newcomer
Theodor Berggren with a second-round TKO (head kick and punches).

This was supposed to be a big showing for Donchenko, but Berggren put up a good fight early on. He was getting tagged, but the short-notice replacement fighter was holding his own against Donchenko. That all changed in the second round when Donchenko landed a stiff head kick. It rocked Berggren and sent him crashing to the canvas. This allowed Donchenko the opportunity to move in for the kill along the cage. He landed a few hard right hands after Berggren returned to his feet and eventually dropped Berggren once more for the finish.

Donchenko, 24, has looked tremendous since coming off The Ultimate Fighter. The young welterweight now has a decision win over veteran Alex Morono and a dominant TKO finish over Berggren. This will give him even more momentum as 2026 rolls on and Donchenko pushes his way towards a shot at the welterweight top 15.
