Aline David Seals Spectacular Knockout in Just 12 Seconds at LFA 208

Santa Cruz, California — Brazilian fighter Aline David achieved a stunning knockout in just 12 seconds at LFA 208 on May 9, showcasing her exceptional striking skills in the strawweight division.

David, 27, was looking to secure her second consecutive win against American fighter Stephanie Nayen, who has a record of 2-1. The match quickly garnered attention as David demonstrated remarkable speed and precision, reminiscent of legendary UFC fighter Anderson Silva.

Moments into the fight, David launched a front kick that connected squarely with Nayen’s face, sending her crashing into the cage. This explosive start paralleled Silva’s infamous knockout of Vitor Belfort, and David followed up with decisive ground strikes to ensure the victory.

“She has the potential to be a superstar,” said a commentator, echoing sentiments shared by fans who were in awe of her performance. The knockout not only marked the fastest finish of her career but likely sets her up for recognition at the end of 2025.

In addition to David’s remarkable achievement, fellow Brazilian fighter Luis Francischinelli also shined at LFA 208, improving his record to 5-0 with all wins coming via knockout. Standing at 6’6”, Francischinelli is emerging as a formidable contender in the welterweight division.
