Video: Jason Wilnis, who holds kickboxing win over Israel Adesanya, nets KO in MMA debut

Jason Wilnis’ first venture into MMA was a success.

Wilnis, a kickboxing veteran who holds a controversial unanimous decision win over Israel Adesanya from January 2017, put on the MMA gloves for his first professional bout on Sunday, and all went well.

Headlining Levels Fight League 2 in Amsterdam, Wilnis made relatively easy work of Erhan Okuroglu for a first-round knockout. After thwarting a number of takedown attempts, Wilnis slid a strong right hand though Okuroglu’s guard that put him in trouble, setting up a left hook that dropped him to the mat. It was stopped moments thereafter at the 4:08 mark of Round 1.
