UFC star Joaquin Buckley unleashed a stunning spinning head kick in a contender for the greatest MMA KO of all time.
The American middleweight, 26, produced the unbelievable stoppage against Impa Kasanganay.
With his opponent holding on to his ankle during round two of their tight bout, Buckley appeared to be in a spot of trouble.
But out of nowhere he flung his free right foot straight into the face of Kasanganay.
Buckley’s compatriot was utterly startled and undone by the genius kick, helplessly falling to the ground in the Fight Island clash in Abu Dhabi.
As Kasanganay lay defeated on the canvas, New Mansa celebrated wildly in the octagon as the small number of people inside the venue reacted in shock and awe.
The victorious Buckley said: “It was just open. I saw that he still had my legs, I was still able to balance with him grabbing my foot, so I just spun and kicked.
“I aimed and I fire and it got the result we needed. I know I landed flush, I didn’t know if I knocked him out though until he locked up and I said it was game over.
“I train it all the time, the only thing that was different was him holding my leg, but I practiSe it all the time.”
UFC tweeted a clip of the KO and wrote: “THE MOST UNBELIEVABLE KO IN UFC HISTORY.”
And plenty of the sport’s biggest names were quick to give Buckley praise for one of the all-time great knockouts.
Justin Gaethje tweeted: “Wow we just witnessed the best KO of 2020.”
Nate Diaz simply put: “100.”
And Daniel Cormier said: “I mean I’ve seen some s*** in MMA, but that may be the craziest knockout ever!!!! Dude got some bonus money coming his way!!!!”
Buckley also reckoned he could be due a £76,000 bonus for the standout stoppage.
He added: “The boss just told me that he wants to give me all of the bonuses, so I’m welcome to it, I want all of it.
“To be honest with you, it’s surreal – a cloud came over my head when he was talking to me, so I couldn’t hear nothing, but once that money came in, once he talked about that, then it cleared up a little bit.
“But it’s awesome, it’s surreal that Dana White came over and talked to me.”
