Missed Fists: Fighter kicked in groin, mouthpiece sent flying in brutal knockout sequence

Welcome to the newest version of Missed Fists the place we shine a light-weight on fights from throughout the globe that will have been neglected in these hectic occasions the place it looks like there’s an MMA present each different day.

You’ll have observed there was a whole lot of dishonest discourse within the fight sports activities world this 12 months. We’ve had eye pokes aplenty within the UFC, with the too-often-seen unlawful maneuver being entrance and middle in headlining bouts at UFC Seattle, UFC Vegas 103, and this previous Saturday at UFC Vegas 104, plus Gervonta Davis taking a knee and never dropping a degree in one of many more unusual scenes you’ll see in a boxing ring.

We right here at MMA Preventing despise dishonest in principal; in apply nonetheless, we’ve lengthy held the coverage that in case you get away with it, then it is best to proceed to take action so long as these wins (and additional paychecks) maintain coming.

With that in thoughts, let’s head to Contra MMA 6 in Wroclaw, Poland, for an additional sterling instance of how breaking the principles can solely result in one’s profit.

(Massive thanks as at all times to @Barrelelapierna for his or her weekly lists of the perfect KOs and submissions, and to @Grabaka_Hitman for importing most of the clips you see right here. Give them a comply with and chip in on Patreon in case you can.)

Daniel Czarniecki vs. Mikolaj Koguciuk

Daniel Czarniecki didn’t imply to do the flawed factor right here, I really imagine that.

In the beginning of the second spherical, of his beginner bout with Mikolaj Koguciuk, Czarniecki despatched a punt proper into his opponent’s groin. Although it was clearly an accident, that kick seemed prefer it landed fairly flush (you possibly can see extra replays right here) and Czarniecki instantly halts his assault. Nonetheless, the referee implores the fighters to proceed, so Czarniecki has no selection however to go in.

And wow, does he. Koguciuk continues to be reeling from the low blow, and sure missed the referee’s directions, so he absolutely turns his again to Czarniecki and is defenseless towards the following punches. A left hand sends Koguciuk’s mouthpiece flying (and a second left juggles the harmless accent for good measure) and this one is over.

Sorry youngsters, dishonest wins once more!

Nandin Erdene vs. Ji Yong Yang
Ye Jun Pyun vs. Sin Woo Lee

Our subsequent lesson this week, by no means, ever strive, you’ll solely fail.

OK, that will appear harsh, however somebody ought to have cautioned younger Ji Yong Yang from making an attempt a daring transfer up in weight this previous weekend at Highway FC 72 in Seoul. Not solely did the 29-year-old bantamweight soar to light-weight, he did so on two days’ discover.

Nandin Erdene misplaced opponent Si Received Park, so Yang volunteered his companies, seemingly desirous to get again to motion after a bout with Soo Chul Kim this previous December resulted in a disappointing no-contest after an unintentional conflict of heads. Yang’s gameness was not rewarded because the bigger Erdene went on to bludgeon him in lower than 90 seconds.

Again to the drafting board, Mr. Yang, and again to 135 kilos, please.

Elsewhere on the cardboard, flyweights Ye Jun Pyun and Sin Woo Lee gave us the perfect staredown of the 12 months to date.

Pyun simply staring down at Lee, grinning like a horny anime villain. And guess what? The horny anime villain received!

Yun seemed exhausted within the second spherical, so Pyun simply begins throwing spinning shit at him. Pyun realizes protection has gone out the window and he ends this one with a pair of proper fingers to the chin.

You’ll be able to nearly hear his evil cackle afterwards.

Free fights from Highway FC can be found on their YouTube channel.

Jean Alexander Romano vs. Nick Thornton

Have you ever ever heard that outdated trope that anybody with three names feels like a serial killer. I considered that watching Jean Alexander Romano decimate Nick Thornton at a Beatdown Promotions occasion in Queensland, Australia.

It seemed just like the again of Thornton’s head banged towards one of many posts. I don’t care if it’s padded, that needed to suck. The look in his eyes (or the dearth of a glance) tells you all the things.

Maicon Kobayashi vs. Branislav Zuzak
Marcel Simo vs. Daniel Konyari

At Actual Combat Enviornment 20 in Bratislava, Slovakia, Branislav Zuzak was possessed by the spirit of Fabricio Werdum and went dashing in towards Maicon Kobayashi. Should you bear in mind how that ended for Werdum in his struggle with Stipe Miocic then you definitely don’t even want to observe this clip (however ought to, in fact).

Face meet mat.

Marcel Simo was teeing off on Daniel Konyari, who was caught on the cage and out of concepts, when Konyari tried a desperation takedown. Simo instantly threw out a brief leaping knee that caught Konyari and put a merciful finish to this one.

Cole Ferrell vs. Cody Shelton
Javanis Ross vs. Louis Brewington

From Nationwide Preventing Championship 174 in Atlanta:

It was only a unhealthy day to be telegraphing takedowns, man.

Cole Ferrell scored an 18-second knockout when his opponent Cody Shelton determined to simply spam photographs and hope for the perfect. As a substitute, the worst occurred for him.

Javanis Ross couldn’t beat Ferrell’s velocity (this KO took Ross 39 seconds, the slowpoke), however so far as model factors goes, he didn’t do badly in any respect.

That’s a spin kick proper to Louis Brewington’s chin and a right away shutdown of the bodily features.

Miguel Suazo vs. Aaron Casey

With apologies to Ferrell, we did have one sooner knockout this week: Miguel Suazo’s 12-second lightning strike at Tuff-N-Uff 142 (replay accessible on UFC Combat Go) in Las Vegas.

Suazo simply reached manner again and smoke Aaron Casey with that left hand. You’ll be able to see Casey has all the boldness on the planet, bouncing on his toes and flinging a couple of punches on the market, however his chin proved to be a tempting goal and Suazo didn’t miss.

From the ICYMI division, be sure to try Diego Brandao’s unimaginable spinning wheel kick from the identical present. The KO was so good, it would lastly get the Final Fighter 14 champion again within the UFC.

Jesse Roberts vs. Omar Rzgoev

Should you’re not accustomed to the fight sports activities time period “coffin nails” (a Jed Meshew favourite), enable Jesse Roberts for instance the idea.

After Roberts knocked Omar Rzgoev down, there’s an opportunity Rzgoev might have recovered. An opportunity that rapidly grew to become lower than zero as adopted up with punches that rendered Rzgoev fully limp and, sure, match for a pine field.

And look, there’s extra from the ICYMI division! Former Bellator welterweight champion Yaroslav Amosov additionally competed at Cage Fury FC 140 (additionally on Combat Go) and he made fast work of Curtis Millender. Might we see him and Brandao on the UFC roster this 12 months?

Kevin Pastran vs. Martin Rafael

Another from Combat Go, contemporary off the presses from Fusion FC 88 in Lima, Peru, this previous Wednesday.

Kevin Pastran let Martin Rafael come to him, hanging again as a couple of punches got here his manner, ready for simply the proper second. That second got here when a poorly timed Rafael kick was caught, leaving him on one leg, and Pastran immediately rifled in a proper hand.

The blow was so clear it briefly turned Rafael right into a Wavy Tube Man.
