Not to mention his head bounced off the mat. One of the craziest knockouts I've seen in a while.

One of the fastest high kicks I've seen. I guess Etim will remember not to drop that high guard next time, even for a second. He even seemed to drop it lower as he realized the kick was coming. I'm guessing in a doomed reflexive attempt to get out of the way.

The video editing was pretty hilarious, imo, with the choice of song.

Yeah, he dropped his guard.

I don't think he saw it coming at all.

Amazing athleticism on that kick.

That was the first time I've ever seen a spinning heel kick knock someone out cold in MMA. That kick tends to not be very effective because unless you are extremely quick like this guy, it's easy to telegraph and give your opponent time to defend. Accuracy is also a problem if you aren't quick because for a split second your back will be to your opponent and he may have moved by the time you complete your spin.

Major kudos, that was flawlessly executed!

I still think this is the most exciting MMA kick I've seen yet:

I remember Rashad Evans knocking out Sean Salmon with a kick to the head. It was the same deal - it landed, and homie immediately went limp and went over on his back, and his head bounced off the canvas. Then Evans got in a punch to the face for good measure before the ref could pull him away. Dude was SNOOZING for a while in the ring before they could get him up. Evans distracted Salmon by pawing at him with his left hand, and while Salmon was trying to swat his hand away, he caught him with the kick. It's amazing that Etim couldn't get out of the way - I think he froze because he wasn't sure what was coming when Barbosa turned his back to him, and because he actually had his hands up in front of his own face he didn't see it until the last second and couldn't move.
