Spartak Mikaelyan has secured his third early victory in professional MMA.

Armenian fighter Spartak Mikaelyan defeated Will Gibson at the Tuff-N-Uff 157 tournament in Las Vegas. The bout ended in a technical knockout at the 57-second mark of the first round.

For 21-year-old Mikaelyan, this marks his third victory in as many professional bouts, all of which ended in early stoppages. Following his debut, the Armenian fighter defeated Victor Reckliffe via submission, and subsequently won his fights against Ethan Soderstrom and Gibson by strikes.

Before transitioning to professional MMA, Mikaelyan represented Armenia in international tournaments. He became the country's first representative to win an IMMAF senior world championship title and also claimed the world championship title in youth grappling (gi).
