Last night's Ultimate Fighting Championship 142 in Brazil gave us one of the most spectacular knockouts in a long time-- possibly ever.
Edson Barboza KO'd Terry Etim with a vicious spinning wheel kick to the head. Barboza's heel caught Etim's jaw, leaving Etim knocked out cold.
The announcers erupted the instant it happened, yelling it was "maybe the most spectacular knockout in UFC History" and "the first wheel-kick knockout we've ever seen."
For the UFC fans in our audience, check out this incredibly athletic knockout blow.
