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.
Check out the video highlights below:
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.
