Mahsun Sahzade vs. Daryosh Sanjar
At a Vendetta Battle Nights occasion in Ankara, Turkey, Mahsun Sahzade wanted simply two seconds to spin and win.
Admittedly, as we touched upon last week, this feels just like the form of struggle that ought to include a Tapology disclaimer (the truth that the occasion isn’t even listed on Tapology is… regarding), however far be it from us to forged aspersions on misters Sahzade and Sanjar, who I’m certain are effective, upstanding members of the MMA neighborhood.
It’s a fairly candy head kick, so let’s not let any potential truths get in the best way of a very good story.
You’ll be able to try extra free fights from Vendetta on their YouTube channel.
Bogdan Pshebelskiy vs. Tamerlan Khadzhimuradov
Amir Kadamov vs. Zhasurbek Rakhmanov
Mikhael Mamedov vs. Kadyrzhan Myrzagaliev
Octagon League was definitely busy this week, holding each a mainline occasion and an Octagon Choice occasion in Kazakhstan.
At Octagon League 73, Bogdan Pshebelskiy regarded like he was having the time of his life earlier than capping off his efficiency with a Peruvian necktie.
Severely, Pshebelskiy appears to be like like an absolute wild card and precisely the form of fighter to only throw out a Peruvian Necktie whenever you least count on it.
At Octagon Choice 53, Amir Kadamov and Mikhael Mamedov additionally delivered devastating KOs.
Octagon League 73 and Octagon Selection 53 are each obtainable totally free on YouTube.
Shunsuke Miyabi vs. Taito Kubota
From a DEEP Tokyo Influence occasion this previous Sunday:
I wasn’t certain whether or not to incorporate this because the struggle was actually over earlier than Shunsuky Miyabi’s remaining strike landed, however dude stomped on dude’s face. So sure, it’s included.
Ryan Geneus vs. Bryan Daviage
Jacobo Apito vs. Cole Cameron
I’m simply going to say it…
Geneus technique, sir!
That felt good.
Cage Titans 71 wasn’t all about cool names although because it additionally featured Jacob Apito doing this to Cole Cameron.
Sheer elbow annihilation.
Christopher Bajo vs. Ali Isajew
Wait, did somebody say HELLBOWS?
Christopher Bajo dropped a few of these at a Battle Membership Rush occasion in Malmo, Sweden, making Ali Isajew pay for not even making an attempt to defend himself.
Battle Membership Rush 24 is offered for replay on UFC Fight Pass, as is that this subsequent cluster of occasions.
Rangel dos Santos vs. Jesus Herreras
Eric Nolan vs. Blayne Richards
Nick Galanti vs. Shane Sobnosky
Busurman Zhumagul vs. Dean Sherry
Joseilton Santos vs. Carlos Petruzzella
Rangel dos Santos went airborne to attain this stunning change knee knockout at Fusion FC 90 in Lima, Peru.
Making this end much more spectacular is that his opponent Jesus Herreras was 8-0 heading into this contest and dos Santos isn’t precisely identified for his knockout energy. This was simply the third KO/TKO of dos Santos’ 17-fight profession and his first since 2019.
Subsequent up, massive shout-out to Cage Fury FC and Battle Move for not solely posting highlights from the New Jersey promotion’s newest occasion, however together with slow-motion replays as properly.
Makes this Eric Nolan KO that a lot sweeter.
Nolan used a beautiful quick left to place Blayne Richards down and declare his welterweight title.
Nick Galanti confirmed the right way to take care of pesky wrestling protection and switch that protection into fight-winning offense.
When Shane Sobnosky threw up the whizzer to dam a takedown, Galanti didn’t press the difficulty, as an alternative pulling guard and leaping for the gilly. And there’s the faucet.
Busurman Zhumagul, however, confirmed the right way to use your knee to completely change somebody’s jaw form.
To not encroach on The Brazilian Beast’s Beat (say that thrice quick), however now we have to showcase Joseilton’s gorgeous knockout of Carlos “Don’t Name Me Seth” Petruzzella at LFA 209 in Mato Grasso.
This was a matchup of undefeateds and Santos simply topped Petruzzella to take his 0.
Laura Vasconcelos vs. Laura Fontoura
If I can steal another from the Brazil beat (sorry, Gui!), right here’s some Laura on Laura violence so that you can get pleasure from from Jungle Battle 136 in Sao Paulo.
With a swift head kick, Laura Vasconcelos improved to 5-0 and efficiently defended her strawweight title. Clearly one to look at as she approaches her twenty fifth birthday this July.
Shukhrat Mirovazov vs. Javokhir Chorchiev
For this final clip, we’re going again somewhat additional than normal, all the best way to Could 18 for Day 2 of the Alexander Serdyukov Memorial even in Voronezh, Russia. We wish to hold issues present round right here, however this knockout solely just lately surfaced due to Fedor’s nephew (not Fedor’s precise nephew… we don’t suppose) and it’s too good to not unfold as far and extensive as doable.
Decide for your self.
We began off with a 2-second spin kick knockout, however when it comes to sheer brutality, Shukhrat Mirovazov’s efficiency is difficult to beat.
